An abandoned mansion which went viral after YouTubers broke in is owned by a grieving and reclusive multi-millionaire, MailOnline can reveal.
Dozens of urban explorers and ghost hunters posted videos inside the £3.3 million property after word spread the house and all its contents had been 'frozen in time' for a decade.
After influencers peddled unverified theories about the owner, it can be revealed the once-jet set executive, who we are not naming, lives a solitary existence in a multi-million pound mansion in London as he struggles to come to terms with a family death.
A neighbour told MailOnline: 'He had a partner, she passed away. There was a child, but she is now gone. He doesn’t want anyone to understand what has happened to him.
'He is a rich person, he never gets visitors. He is very intelligent and well educated but he sleeps until three in the afternoon, the blinds spend most of their time closed.
