Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband Thomas Kingston died from ‘catastrophic’ head wound.

Such a tragic story. I feel so sorry for his wife and family.

Unfortunately they will have the added burden of the carrion crow press speculating endlessly on why. Every word and action will be dissected and have judgement pronounced on them.

At least on gransnet we are offering only sympathy and compassion.

Tragic for all concerned. RIP

Oh dear, how very dreadful. Poor man and poor, poor family. Absolutely shocking.

Tragic.Dreadful for his family.
A man who appeared to have everything to live for.

Truly sad news. May he RIP.

I thought it was very brave of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent to attend the memorial service. They must have been shell shocked!

Maybe a wrong choice of words but you know what I mean.

Of course we do merlotgran.

So terribly sad.

I worked with a man who took his own life.
He was only early 40’s & left a wife & 2 young boys.

I wish we could do more for people suffering so much that they think death is the only answer. It’s so sad.

Very tragic, and in his parents own garden too, how they must be feeling☹️

Thanks for that link, lemsip.
I wasn't sure who he was, or any of the background.

Terrible tragic, poor man.
It doesn't bear thinking about, finding your own child like that.

When I first read that Thomas Kingston had died I thought how tragic to die at such a young age and a heart attack came to mind .
On reading that he'd taken his own life - I was shocked .

I've known two men , who committed suicide and both of them well educated , accomplished and relatively privileged coming from well heeled middle class backgrounds .
I'd seen both of them the day before and it shook me to the core .
One thing that they both shared : they cared deeply about other people and felt powerless to help them despite being in caring professions .

We don't know how Thomas really felt about life and what finally tipped him over the edge .
I pray for his wife and family .
RIP Thomas .

Many of us envy those in the upper classes, but one of the drawbacks is the expectations which people have of you. Sometimes you just can't live up to those expectations. I'm not saying that this is what happened in this case, but having wealth and status doesn't guarantee success.
The saddest thing about this is the publicity. Bad enough to lose a loved one in this way without it being so public.

Very sad but no one knows what goes on behind closed doors or in people's minds.

Such sad news. His poor young wife, married for such a short time.

So sad for his family, may he RIP

My heart goes out to the family left behind with the emotions and thoughts they will have to deal with now. May he RIP.

It is not so much what goes on behind closed doors, but what is going on in someone's mind, remains unknown to all those around, even their nearest and dearest, unless they talk about it.

So very sad. I wonder from reading lemsips post if he was suffering from PTSD? It certainly wouldn't surprise me after what he'd been through. Such a sad loss for all concerned.

So very sad, on the surface everything going for him. It’s a waste of a life. If only he had talked to someone, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed.

Some things can’t be fixed

We don’t know what was troubling him so we can’t speculate about how it could have been fixed. I beg to disagree with you Annie despite your tragic experience.

Allsorts

I agree.
there’s nothing that can’t be fixed

It can’t be fixed unless the person tells somebody else how desperate they are feeling. I’ve known two men who committed suicide, one in his thirties and one in his forties. In both cases nobody, including their wives, had any idea how they were feeling, both of them were functioning apparently normally both at home and at work, and confided in nobody at all. The shock afterwards was quite devastating for everybody who knew them.
