A financial adviser associated with former footballer Gary Lineker dies by suicide, according to The MoS, with the report linking the death to concerns about a tax-avoidance scheme the adviser recommended to wealthy clients. The article says the adviser became depressed after HMRC branded the plan a tax-avoidance arrangement. The report frames the situation around the adviser’s personal state following HMRC’s assessment of the scheme and describes the subsequent impact on his mental health. It does not provide further public detail in the supplied material about how the scheme was structured, which clients were involved, or what specific HMRC correspondence or legal actions accompanied the branding. It also does not indicate whether any charges or prosecutions have been brought. The account is based on the disclosure made by The MoS, while the provided Daily Mail items repeat the same underlying claim. The circumstances and any official findings beyond HMRC’s characterisation are not detailed in the supplied text.
