Initial details about Thomas Kingston’s death were scarce, but the story took a devastating turn. On February 29, 2024, an official from the Gloucestershire Coroner’s Court told Us Weekly that they’d be conducting an investigation into Kingston’s death. “Please be advised that HM senior coroner for Gloucestershire, Ms Katy Skerrett, will conduct the opening of the inquest into the death of Mr. Thomas Henry Robin Kingston,” read the statement. However, as the outlet noted, there was no indication of foul play at the time.
Tragically, the investigation later uncovered that Kingston had died by suicide. In her testimony, Senior Coroner Kate Skerrett detailed the heartbreaking circumstances. After having lunch with his son, Kingston’s father went out to walk the dog, only to return to a grim discovery. “On his return Mr. Kingston was not in the house and after approximately 30 minutes his mother went to look for him,” Skerrett said, according to the Mirror. “His father forced entry on a locked-out building when no reply could be gained. He found Mr. Kingston deceased with a catastrophic head injury.” Per the outlet, a gun was present at the scene.
