A renowned human rights lawyer allegedly pushed to his death under a Tube train was living a secret life as a transsexual escort.

David Burgess, 63, who was also known as Sonia, offered his services on a website, where he advertised himself as a 'pre-op' transsexual escort looking for paid encounters with men.

An interesting post to read....

An earlier article in anouther publication indicated that the lady who pushed her and she were horsing around.

Also I do not see a motive for this murder being put forward by the police or prosecution.

Bet it wasn't murder at all.

I thought that too Cynthialee. Loss of life is always unfortunate though. Media has to have a hype to sell papes with. But who knows. I guess the videos are somewhat telling.

Whatever may have been the exact cause, it's a very sad story.
I hope the truth will be uncovered, especially for her family and loved ones.

You are right it is a sad story.

Well, to be fair, that's something for the prosecution to put forward at trial, not for discussion by the media.

One of the articles did mention she was known to family and friends as both man and woman. To be honest, it made me doubt slightly whether to use he or she at first (although 'she' did feel better)
