The great-grandson of John Barr Affleck, Britain’s Consul General in <a href="/wiki/Tianjin" title="Tianjin">Tianjin</a> from 1935 to 1938, Heywood lived and worked in China since the early 1990s and became associated with the <a href="/wiki/Bo_Xilai" title="Bo Xilai">Bo Xilai</a> family. In 2011, he was murdered by Bo's wife <a href="/wiki/Gu_Kailai" title="Gu Kailai">Gu Kailai</a> in <a href="/wiki/Chongqing" title="Chongqing">Chongqing</a> after a business dispute.
