Lookout Mountain

De Rothschild, 87, was found dead at his fire-damaged Laurel Canyon home after the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a blaze at the Lookout Mountain Avenue residence Nov. 27.

The cause of the Lookout Mountain Avenue conflagration, which was put out by 45 firefighters in a little more than 30 minutes, had been under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Fire Department.

Curiously, several Lookout Mountain residents have told The Times that they knew Mirkin as Rothschild’s cousin or sister — and not his wife.

The case file, which includes his address on Lookout Mountain Avenue, indicates there was “no one objecting” to the petition, and a judge soon granted it.
