The beloved Cornelius Hightower, aged 86, has died. The lively great, great grandfather died at the hands of his son this evening by a crossbow bolt during a trip to the bathroom. Cornelius leaves behind 10 children, 47 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren. Cornelius rebuilt his family's wealth and prestige following the death of his father. Cornelius would proudly state many times over the years how he'd westeled a brown bear to a tie as well as many other wild claims that often turned out being true. 

Cornelius himself was born in 1933, he was raised in Kensington and was the eldest of 5 siblings. Cornelius served as head of the family and guided the Hightower’s to great wealth and influence for many decades before passing the position to his successor and grandson, Alistair Hightower who served ever since.

 

Funeral proceedings will likely commence tomorrow, and a public announcement will be made to inform attendees.
