Robert Isabell, the highly successful floral designer/events and party planner was found dead last week in his Greenwich Village townhouse by a doctor who had been sent to check on his whereabouts. He had been expected in the South of France the weekend before at a dinner given by former US Ambassador to Belgium Anne Cox Chambers, and when he didn’t show up, without ever calling before or after, someone called the doctor.
