The body of a loner who was obsessed with the Queen lay undiscovered on a park island within sight of Buckingham Palace for three years.
The skeletal remains of Robert James Moore, a 69-year-old American, were found on the small West Island in London's St James's Park.
He had sent hundreds of 'strange and offensive' packages, including obscene photographs, to the Queen over 15 years, Westminster Crown Court was told.
These included letters that sometimes ran to 600 pages and boxes which were falsely said to contain dangerous substances.
The
inquest heard that Mr Moore suffered from mental health problems and
had arrived in Britain from his home in the U.S. in 2007.
West Island, which is not open to the
public and can only be accessed by boat or by wading across the shallow
lake, offers an 'excellent' view of Buckingham Palace.
Detective
Sergeant Mike West, from Marylebone Police Station, told last week's
hearing: 'He had a fixation with the Queen and the Royal Family, which
takes us back to the place where he was discovered.
'There would not be a better place to remain undiscovered within view of the Queen’s primary residence than the West Island.'
