Death of Zac Brettler
2019 death of British teenager in London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zac Brettler (2000–2019) was a teenager who fell to his death in London on the early morning of 29 November 2019. He was recorded on CCTV leaping from the balcony of an apartment owned by Verinder "Dave" Sharma, a gangster. A pathologist stated that Brettler had a broken jaw, which could not be explained by the fall.[1][2][3][4][5]
The death is explored by author Patrick Radden Keefe in a 2024 New Yorker article, "A Teen's Fatal Plunge into the London Underworld" and then expanded by Keefe into a 2026 book entitled London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth.[6][7]
