An inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court heard on Tuesday that Mosley was experiencing chronic bowel and bladder painꦏ ꦫthat could only be reduced with palliative care, but not cured.
Senior Coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox ruled Mosley’s death as suicide. Sh🍃e also told the court Mosley had informed his personal assistant of 20 years he was going to take his own life, left a suicide note, and had a final meal with his wife Jean before fatally shooting himself.
“It was🔥 obvious he had used the shotgun to himself and endured a life-ending injury,” said the coroner. “It’s clear he had injuries not compatible with life.’”
She added: "I am also entirely satisfied Mr Mosley would not have undertak🔥en this action but for the𝐆 distressing and debilitating terminal lymphoma."
A neighbour and Mosley’s housekeep꧃er called 999 after they found a note on his bedroom door which read: ‘Do not enter, call the 🌌police’.
His PA, Henry Alexander, said he had begged Mosley not to end his ꧟life:
“He was sat in an armchair in a despairing way. He spoke t🍸o me and said I'd been amazing and thanking ꦇme,” he said.
“He said he'd had enough, had intention🎃s of killing himself. I begged him to reconsider andꦿ said, 'please, there must be another way’.
“He said he'd made up his mind. When 🍷I pleaded with him, asked him if he could giv𒁏e it 24 hours, he said ‘why?'”
Mosley’s lasting impact on F1

Mosele🍰y had a transformative impact on F1 by pushing through improved safety standardsꦅ in the world championship following the death of Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. He oversaw the introduction of the HANS device and stricter crash tests.
Prior to his FIA presidency, Mosley was a barrister and founded March Engineering, a racing💃 car constructor and F1 team, in 1969 with Robin Herd, Alan Rees and Graham Coker.
After leading the team to three grand prix victories, Mosley quit in 1977 and alongside Bernie Ecclesto🎶ne, went on to form the F1CA, then FOCA (Formula One Constructors’ Association).
Mosley took over as president of the FIA after defeating Jean-Marie Balestre in 1993.&nb💟sp;
He decided not to stand for re-election in 2009, ultimately being replaced b💜y former Ferrari boss Jean 🌄Todt, who held the position until December 2021.
While Mosl🅰ey was not short of controversy in his personal life, he left a major mark on the sport and wider car industry.
He was heavily involved in the decision to fine McLaren heavily in the Spy scandal in 2007, while his tenure as president c༒ame to an end when he took the News of the World to court after it printed alꦑlegations about his sex life.
After taking the case to the high court, Mosley won £60,000 damages from the Sunday tabloid after it published a story which f💜alsely accused of him of taking part in a Nazi-themed orgy🌜.
Speaking at ♒the time of his death, ex-F1 supremo Ecclestone told BBC Sport: "It’s like losing family, like losing a brother, Max and I. He did a lot of good things not just for motorsport, also the [car] industry he was very good in making sure people built cars that were safe."
