A 66-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder, linked to the death of the film director and to the missing Rolex Watcher.
Metropolitan police said the suspect was killed Wednesday by Jennifer Abbott, also known as Sarah Steinberg.
Ms. Abbott, 69, found her niece wrapped in a blanket on a bed at her home in north London on June 13.
She last walked on a pet Corgi in Camden, north London on June 10 and had an autopsy, causing her death to be severely traumatized.
At about 6 p.m. on June 13, an ambulance officer was summoned at her home in Mornington Square in Camden, where she was pronounced dead. Her pet Corgi was shut down in the bathroom for three days but survived.

Her social media photos show her posing with a range of different celebrities, including Socialite Paris Hilton and actress Kate Hudson.
Originally from Arizona, she studied arts and science at Merton Technical College in southwest London, before moving to Los Angeles to become a film producer.
Her LinkedIn notes that she is the CEO of Atlantis Rising Productions and has also written several novels.
A woman who lives nearby describes Ms. Abbott as “a woman of taste,” while 63-year-old barber William Currie said: “I once saw her walking around with her little Corgi.

“We just say hello and wave and smile at each other. She used to walk the dog every few days. She keeps her figure, she’s not very social, kind, polite and kind. The dog is fat, chubby, and barks a lot.”

“We thank the local community for their patience as we continue to investigate this shocking crime. This arrest marks an important step forward.
