Johnson was amoung the victim of the Hurricana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hurricana_earl_%282010%29 as he traveled for august holiday in USA with his family.
Meanwhile. Ever since years i have always know that he deposited a fixed deposit of amount $2.5 Million dollars with UBS bank here, and as i am talking with you he died with his family and for about two years now no trace as the bank has inform me to present his Next of Kin as says on his will.

The only thing I did was break the one link in the email, though interestingly enough it actually led to where it said it did.
