"Self-styled celebrity gangster Dave Courtney died without leaving a will and with no money to his name, official documents have revealed. The 64-year-old, who built a public persona as a former underworld figure and actor, was found dead at his home in Plumstead, south-east London, on October 22, 2023. He had suffered a gunshot wound, and his body was discovered by friend and fellow actor David McGirr."
"The revelation that Courtney left no money to his family was confirmed in a Letter of Administration filed at London's High Court - legal documentation required when a person dies without a will. The registrar stated: The application has stated that the gross value of the estate in the UK amounts to 0. Courtney's wife, Jenny, was named as the administrator of the estate. Despite this, official records suggest Courtney's Plumstead home was sold for 500,000 in July 2024."
