Because the gun was found near his body, investigators suspect suicide.
Last Wednesday, Buckingham Palace announced that Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, had died suddenly at the age of 45. It is now more clear about the cause of death. Investigation shows that Thomas died of a gunshot wound to the head, and that a gun was found near his body.
Found dead
It must have come as a huge shock to the British royals earlier this week when it was reported that Thomas Kingston passed away on Sunday evening. Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband was found dead by emergency services at his parents’ Cotswolds address. When Buckingham Palace reported Thomas’s death, no cause of death was yet known. It was clear that there were no suspicious circumstances or parties involved.
Cause of death
A cause of death has now been announced, which may make the situation even more painful for Thomas’ relatives. Judicial investigation shows that the royal died of a gunshot wound to the head. Since a gun was found near his body, it appears Thomas applied the shot himself.
explanations
A statement on his death was previously issued on behalf of Thomas’ family. “It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother. Tom was an exceptional man who brightened the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the entire family, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”
Buckingham Palace added: “The King and Queen have been informed of Thomas’ death and join all who knew him in mourning a much-loved member of the family. In particular, Their Majesties send their thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to the entire Kingston family.”
