Kate Barry, the daughter of James Bond theme composer John Barry and actress and singer Jane Birkin, has been found dead.

The body of fashion photographer Kate Barry, 46, was found in Paris on December 11, after an apparent fall from the window of her fourth floor apartment, reports BBC News. Police have launched an inquiry into her death, with a police spokesperson commenting: "The matter is under investigation, but we can confirm the death."
