He was killed, aged 49 years, on 10 April 1992, as a result of an IRA bomb explosion at the Baltic Exchange, St Mary Axe, London, where he was the doorman stationed at the front entrance of the building. He was covering a shift for a colleague who was on holiday and would otherwise have been stationed at the rear of the building.
