It’s a dreadful waste. How down he must have been and it’s truly heartbreaking. Condolences to his family and friends. I worry for the men in my family as they don’t talk about their problems.

If nothing the last year has shown how being Royal or in their circle cannot protect you from the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune'.

They suffer as we do.

Such a handsome chap. I was very sorry indeed to read this. Suicide is really awful and my thoughts very much with his family. He was so young, did read somewhere he had been in Iraq?

I heard recently of a collegue I worked with had shot himself just before Christmas and I was deeply shocked especially as this happened just up the road from where I live. Dear me how sad all round.

People can hide how desperate they feel from those close to them. Very tragic.

So very sad and shocking. Kate1949, no you never know and people can hide their true feelings and despair very well.

His poor wife, parents and all the family.

Looks like his poor parents found his body.

How absolutely awful for them.

Very sad. The worst thing about suicide is the lifelong impact it leaves on those left behind, I feel desperately sorry for his wife and parents.

That’s right Kate, you never know.

How terribly sad

Poor man. You never know what's behind the brave face.

So sad, such a young man. What a shame he couldn't get help before things went so far. My sympathy to his family.
RIP Thomas Kingston

So sad. I thought their wedding at St.George’s Chapel was so beautiful. R.I.P.
His poor poor parents and family 😢

I thought so too, he always looked happy and was smiling in the photos. It just goes to show, that money cannot always bring happiness.

Tragic to hear this 45y old was found dead at his parents Cotswold out building on Sunday with a gun by his body. Such a shock to read this I had been assuming a heart attack or similar.

Condolences to all his family.
RIP Mr. Kingston.
