Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore left none of his £2million estate to his devoted partner – because he did not draw up a will.

Moore died from a heart attack in February 2011 aged 58 after an alcohol binge.

His girlfriend Petra Nioduschewski, 37, battled in vain to resuscitate him in their room at a luxury hotel in Spain.

Moore had reportedly proposed to her hours before his death.

The couple had lived together at his £635,000 home in Hove.

Probate records reveal that the guitarist left a net estate of £2,088,134 after liabilities.

But High Court documents state that he did not leave a will so, under intestate rules, it is believed his fortune will be split between his four children.

The guitarist had two sons, Jack and Gus, from his marriage to health therapist Kerry Booth, which lasted from 1985 to 1993; and a daughter, Lily, during a ten-year relationship with artist Jo Rendle.

Moore also had an older daughter, Saoirse, from an earlier affair.

Ms Nioduschewski received nothing as probate law does not give anything to the partner of a person who dies without a will.

Belfast-born Moore had a successful solo career but is best remembered for his time with Irish rockers Thin Lizzy. 

He died just hours after he and Ms Nioduschewski checked into a five-star hotel on the Costa del Sol.

He had 380mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in his system – the legal limit for driving in the UK is 80mg of alcohol.

German-born Ms Nioduschewski could not be contacted for comment yesterday.
