“It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother,” read a statement at the time about the 45-year-old's tragic death.

“Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him,” the message continued. “His death has come as a great shock to the whole family, and we ask you to respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”

Thomas Kingston was described as 'happy' before his death.

Before his tragic death, Thomas was described as "happy and chatty" alongside his wife just five days before his death.

Local law enforcement stated: "The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."

"They seemed happy and positive as ever. Ella was particularly chatty," a mutual friend of the couple shared, while another claimed: "It's utterly shocking. None of us saw it coming. I cannot understand it." Thomas was only 45 years old at the time of his demise.
