This beautiful manor was built in 2006 for the late Dr Hector Collison (a prominet Maryland cardiologist with about 9 practices in the area). Who died in a plane crash with his son in 2008 (just a mere two years after it was built). Dr Collison had many practices around the state of Maryland. His widow Connie Collison could not keep up with the lavish life her husband left her as Dr Collison had defaulted in his life insurance. Dr Collison was also a ‘pilot’ as a hobby. This manor was sadly 17 years in the planning and only for Dr Collison & his wife & kids to enjoy for two years before he died in the plane crash. The owners after that were rumoured to be a college basketball player & his wife supposedly from Nigeria. The man apparently died overseas a suspicious death & hence why the house was abandoned in the late 2010s. As of RECENT I read it was being auctioned off! Not even near the $10 million price tag it was sold to by Dr Collison’s widow (who they built for $5 million). I did heaps of research and many news articles on it even on social media!
That was not will smiths house it belonged to a father and his kids and wife he died in a helicopter crash with his one son!! So stop saying that it’s will smith house!!
As I observe these videos, it becomes apparent that belongings are often abandoned hastily in the wake of overwhelming grief. For those who have experienced loss, the holidays are the worst. I find solace in these recordings, yet it's ironic how the very things left behind, so precious to their owners, ultimately hold no value to them in the end.
This is probably a sad tale for the mother. She lost her husband and son, had to move out of their dream home. I think she just did not want the stuff. Too many memories, too much past, too many tears.
Imagine a squatter got in that place. They say after about a certain amount of days that if a squatter stays in a residence regardless of it being owned, rented or unoccupied, they end up becoming the new homeowner.
😮 Will Smith has NADA to do with this episode. This mansion is pretty - doesn't look too gaudy or cheap, but if it were turned over to me 😊, I'd have toned it down a bit. I'd redesign the pool, too. Ceilings are too tall for my taste. The Master bedroom looks like it could fit a merry go round in front of the tv. 🎠 I enjoyed the video. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 😊
As a Taoist who lived in Hidden Hills for seventeen years, I can say I have seen this type of behaviour. Sometimes people find they have holes in their souls, and attempt to fill their bottomless holes with things. It’s hoarding on a macro level, except they have housekeepers/enablers to sort and clean for them. God bless and amen. 🇬🇧
I went down the rabbit hole. Collison had 4 children. Only 1 died in the plane crash with him. The wife moved to Chicago with her mother for a while, then eventually moved back to Baltimore by the time the youngest was in high school. The mother pleaded with the Potomac area high schoolbprincipal to allow her daughter to attend and drove an hour each way. The youngest daughter is now a Doctor of Pshchology, graduated from Johns Hopkins and UCLA. Not sure what happened to the other children.
So from what have heard from previous comments none of these items belonged to the Doctor and his family. His wife sold the property in 2009 and it was bought by a Nigerian family. The family was deported and that is why everything is left behind..... I also wonder why there is not a security system in place for a home this valuable. I know it is bank owned now but don't they want to protect the property from vandals! Crazy
Weird story, stranger than fiction?....Leave this comment up Urbex, I'm not disclosing anything.....So the widow of the deceased doctor sold the mansion in 2009, and was purchased by a Nigerian who was accused by the Nigerian government of terrorism, so extradited back to Nigeria away from the mansion in America, hence why all the stuff was still there, he couldn't get back into the USA....and then died in a car accident in 2015 in Nigeria. The mansion was then foreclosed and as of 2022 the bank is still paying the yearly taxes of about ~50,000 a year 🤗
Billionaire Nigerian Dr Ime Sampson Umanah was married w 4 sons and 3 daughters and had multiple properties. He bought this home from the widow along with a woman from the area, Middleton. He returned to Nigeria facing charges of threatening a governor. After a court appearance he died in a car accident. 2015. I researched based on comments.
