Mills was found dead, shot in the head, in London's Soho district. The police officially ruled the death a suicide. However, several theories arose, due in no small part to his relationship with the Krays. Some of the theories included:
*He had been arrested in a public toilet, and charged with homosexual indecency, and had killed himself.
*His suicide was staged by Chinese gangsters, who were after his club.
*He was the still unknown serial killer "Jack The Stripper," who had murdered eight prostitutes near the Thames River in London between 1958 and 1965, and that he had killed himself when he felt he was close to being caught.
