The doc that is accused of having blown up his $6.4 million Upper East Side townhouse so that his wife wouldn’t get it in the divorce died from burns and other injuries he received in the blast.
As a result of a protracted court fight following a ferocious divorce, Dr. Bartha was ordered to sell the town house, valued at nearly $6.4 million, and share the proceeds with his ex-wife, Cordula Hahn.
Dr. Bartha had vowed never to surrender the building. In an e-mail message to Ms. Hahn sent before the explosion, he wrote: ‘‘You always wanted me to sell the house. I always told you, ‘I will leave the house only if I am dead.’ You ridiculed me. You should have taken it seriously.’’
If nothing else, Bartha seems to have been a man of his word.
