Emma Winberg, the wife of former British army officer James Le Mesurier who jumped to his death on Nov. 11, 2019 from his apartment in Istanbul, has said the ultimate cause of her husband's death was the financial problems he faced, not an international intrigue.

The Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office has concluded that former British military intelligence officer James Le Mesurier, who was found dead in front of his office in Istanbul's Beyoğlu district late last year, died from falling from the terrace of his house, closing the case into his death.
