THE millionaire brother-in-law of heiress Petra Ecclestone has been found dead at his parents’ £3.5million mansion.
Lee Stunt — whose brother James is married to F1 supremo Bernie’s daughter — was found by his distraught dad Geoffrey, it is believed.

“His father found him. We are shocked. Nobody knows the exact circumstances.”
