ing a voluntary gun control deal
with the U.S. government.
He made few comments of any
kind to the press, but the public
got glimpses of a sometimes
tempestuous private life through
the courts.
At the age of 70, in July 1999,
he survived an attempt on his
life when an investment broker
who managed his assets hired
a former wrestler to attack him
with a rubber hammer, a court
heard.
Glock had grown suspicious
of how the broker was managing
his affairs and had flown to
Luxembourg to confront him,
lawyers said. He suffered seven
blows to the head but fended off
the assault. The broker, Charles
Ewert, and the attacker, Jacques
Pecheur, were both jailed.
His 49-year-old marriage with
Helga Glock ended in divorce in
2011 and the pair embarked on a
lengthy legal battle over alimony.
Soon after, he married his second
wife, Kathrin, more than 50
years his junior.
He owned a lakefront mansion
and a state-of-the-art equestrian
sport centre in the province
of Carinthia, where celebrities
showed up for parties.
He is survived by his wife, a
daughter and two sons.
