Ben Duncan, a college friend of the Prince and Princess of Wales and a reality TV star known for being on the U.K.’s Big Brother, died Thursday night after falling about 100 feet from a hotel rooftop bar in London. Duncan, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene after he fell from the seventh story of the swanky Trafalgar St. James Hotel, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the Daily Mail. Police responded to a call about concerns about a man on the rooftop of the celebrity hotspot, where rooms run for as much as $1,000 per night. Authorities did not say what caused the fall, but they are not treating the death as suspicious. Duncan had met Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton while attending St. Andrews University, and was in their friend group around the time they started dating.
