11-18-2004 Dateline: LONDON The widow of actor Denholm Elliott on Thursday accepted undisclosed libel damages from a tabloid newspaper that claimed her daughter committed suicide because she was neglected by her family. Susan Elliott had sued the Mail on Sunday over a June 2003 article headed "Drug addict daughter of Denholm Elliott hangs herself in Ibiza villa." Elliott's lawyer, Korieh Duodu, told the High Court that the article, which described the circumstances of Jennifer Elliott's suicide in May last year, suggested that the dominant cause of her death was that she had been abandoned http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-102575145.html |

To the uninitiated it was a tragic, but sadly routine house fire. An elderly victim dragged to safety from the flames engulfing her home only for her to succumb to her horrific injuries a day later.
But the death at 62 of Susan Elliott was the final chapter in a poignant story of love and betrayal. For she was the widow of veteran star Denholm Elliott who had once appeared to enjoy a gilded life with the actor and their children at a luxury retreat on Ibiza. But that idyllic existence came to a shuddering halt when Susan discovered that Elliott, star of Trading Places and the Indiana Jones films, had not been a faithful husband. For years he had been a promiscuous bisexual, indulging in love affairs and one-night stands with both sexes. From one encounter, he contracted HIV. Susan vehemently denied that her famous husband was bisexual, but he died in 1992 at the age of 70 from Aids-related tuberculosis. If that was not sufficient to traumatise Susan, she then had to cope with her daughter Jennifer?s heroin addiction. This too ended in heartbreak four years ago when 37-year-old Jennifer hanged herself in Ibiza. Distressed by suggestions that she had somehow neglected her daughter, Susan left her beloved island and moved to London. Apart from co-writing a biography of Elliott, she had been living quietly and in reduced circumstances in a rented one-bedroom flat in North London. But the final act came last week. Mrs Elliott ? now confined to a wheelchair ? was trapped in a blaze in her fourth-floor rented flat in Hornsey. As firefighters raced to the scene, a neighbour, journalist Rob Lyons, heard her frantic screams for help. He rushed into the corridor and broke down the door of her flat. He recalls: ?The poor woman was naked and on fire. I assumed her clothes had been burned off her. 'I beat out the flames on her arms. She hadn?t been able to manoeuvre her wheelchair to get through the inward-opening door. She was in a very distressed state.? Lyons carried the frail Susan from the blazing flat. He added: ?I took her down to the street and held her until an ambulance arrived. She was very badly burned and in great pain.? Despite his bravery, she died from her injuries 24 hours later.
