Just a Normal, Ordinary Guy

An underground shelter for each of his kids?:

The man who was discovered living in an Austrian cellar with his six British-born children is a "Doomsday prepper" who previously worked in IT in London, according to local officials.

Tom Landon, 54, is reported to be a conspiracy theorist who wrote several self-published books denouncing Austria's government.

He is believed to have been living in a network of cellars underneath a building guarded by security cameras in the small village of Orbitz, near the Czech border, for around nine months.

...Locals say they knew of Landon, who had been trying to buy cellars in the village for a while, and had been concerned by his erratic behaviour.

...He had bought up to five cellars in the village, according to Greil, apparently wanting one for each of his six children.

Books published in his name online include Dirty Justice, The Judas Principle and The Destructive Effect of Information Technology on Human Intellectual Development.

According to media reports he has also written a musical about the Austrian rock star Falco – known for his 1985 hit Rock Me Amadeus – who died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic in 1998. Landon, who was living on the island at the time, claims to have found the body and that there was a cover-up about the true cause of death.
