Thomas Kingston's Death Was 'Shocking'

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.

King Charles went to the funeral.
Some of the royal family attended the funeral, including King Charles.
“The king and the queen have been informed of Thomas’s death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all those who knew him in grieving a much-loved member of the family,” Buckingham Palace said on behalf of King Charles and Queen Camilla at the time.
“In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family,” the message added.
