Mother Dies Falling Manchester Amid £2.7m London Home Dispute

Rachel O'Hare, a 49-year-old charity founder and mother of three, died after falling from a Manchester high-rise while embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with her ex-fiancé, celebrity antiques dealer Owen Pacey, over their jointly purchased £2.7 million Georgian mansion in Spitalfields, London. O'Hare claimed she used a divorce settlement and a loan to buy the property and alleged that Pacey contributed nothing to the purchase, locked her out, refused to pay bills, and threatened to damage the home’s interior. Legal documents show the couple agreed the house would pass to the surviving partner, a detail now significant following O'Hare’s death just four days after a court hearing. Pacey, who denies her allegations and maintains he invested in the renovations, is now sole owner of the property. Police are not treating O'Hare’s death as suspicious, and an inquest is scheduled. Tributes highlight her charitable work with Elle for Elle, supporting women in need, and her involvement in luxury lifestyle media.
