British wife of multi-millionaire found dead on holiday at luxury villa in Spain

The wife of a water company boss has died suddenly while she was enjoying a holiday in Menorca.

Elsie Mogford, 37, from Chorley, Lancashire, passed away in a hospital on the Spanish island on Tuesday. It is not yet clear what caused Mrs Mogford's death.

She was rushed to hospital on Tuesday but medics could not save her and she was declared dead.

A family statement said: "The family of Elsie Mogford announce her death, in hospital in Menorca, on Tuesday 24 August.

"Elsie was a wonderful, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend and she will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. The family request privacy at this very sad time. "

Mrs Mogford had been married to Steve Mogford, 65, the head of United Utilities, for two years.

The mum has two sons from a previous marriage and she wed Mr Mogford in June 2019.

The marriage reportedly took place three years after Mr Mogford's first wife Barbara, 61, died from breast cancer.

Mr Mogford made £2.94million as head of United Utilities last year, including his wage, bonus and benefits..

He has led the firm, which provides water and waste services in the north-west, for a decade.
