Photographer David Hamilton deadPARIS -- Controversial British fashion photographer David Hamilton, 83, was found dead in his Parisian home Friday, emergency services sources said, just weeks after being accused of rape by several former child models. Flavie Flament, who modelled for Hamilton almost 30 years ago, published an autobiographical novel last month in which she told of being raped by a famous photographer during a shoot. Flament, 42, later told French media that it was Hamilton who had raped her after three other women contacted her with near identical allegations. Hamilton confirmed Flament had been his model, but denied the allegations, telling AFP on Tuesday: "I have done nothing improper." "The horror of this news will never erase the sleepless nights," Flament told AFP, reiterating her allegations.
