edit : police suspects a suicide. How sad and tragic. Kate Barry is survived by his 26 year old son Roman. She was born april 8, 1967. John Barry and Jane Birkin divorced the same year.
from ParisMatch "The tragedy. Daughter of actress and singer Jane Birkin and the great composer John Barry, who died, to whom we owe the James Bond theme, Kate Barry died tonight falling from his apartment on the fourth floor, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Aged 46, she was a recognized figure in photography and worked for many publications including Paris Match."
Yeah, people rarely 'fall' from the fourth floor of anything without jumping or being pushed, unless the rail was broken or something like that.
When I first heard the news, it was that she took her own life, but clearly reports are being less specific than that now, pending the outcome of the police investigation.
All I can say that can be positive in a tragic situation like this is to hope she is with her father now in a happier place where there is a beauty as beautiful as his music was.
Charlotte Gainsbourg has just released her new album which is a tribute to her sister Kate Barry to whom she was very close, she was devastated by her loss. The album is called "rest" as in rest in peace. Great song and very good album.
