Thomas Kingston died from traumatic head wound, inquest hears

Thomas Kingston, Lady Gabriella Kingston's husband, died from a "traumatic head wound", an inquest has heard.

A gun was found near to his body in an outbuilding at his parent's home in the Cotswolds.

Aged 45, Mr Kingston was the son-in-law of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. He died on 25 February.

The inquest into his death opened on Friday at Gloucestershire Coroner's Court.

His death was not being treated as suspicious, and no-one else was involved.

Mr Kingston married Lady Gabriella in 2019 in a ceremony that was attended by Queen Elizabeth II.

In a statement issued by Buckingham Palace shortly after Mr Kingston's death, Lady Gabriella, 42, described her husband as an "exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him". King Charles and Queen Camilla sent their "most heartfelt thoughts and prayers" to his family.

Senior coroner Katy Skerrett said in the lead-up to his death, Mr Kingston had lunch with his parents and his father went out to walk the dogs.

When his father returned, Ms Skerrett told the inquest, Mr Kingston was no longer in the house.

"After approximately 30 minutes his mother went to look for him," Ms Skerrett said, then his father had to force entry on a locked outbuilding - as there was no reply from Mr Kingston.

His father then found his 45-year-old son "deceased with a catastrophic head injury" with a gun "present at the scene", Ms Skerrett added.

Mr Kingston was a director at private equity firm Devonport Capital. He had previously worked in Baghdad in Iraq, with the diplomatic missions unit of the Foreign Office, where he was involved in securing the release of hostages.

He married his wife, Lady Gabriella, at Windsor Castle's St George's Chapel....

Unbelievable the guy committed suicide. Just goes to show money and man’s definition of success does not buy happiness.

More likely, he was ‘sick of’ vs ‘sick from’.

Whatever it was, he was determined to escape it.

A state of mind, a state of deep secrets, a deep state.. ?

Disturbing, in any case.

We kicked out the Royal military in 1783. Why should we care?

My spell checker messed up. I meant that we kicked out the Royals in 1783.

Old Hairy is liable to whack himself too one of these days, living with what he’s done.

I am here!
Wasn’t “certain”, but the odds were high.
Heck, how do YOU know it was nothing to do with the clot-shot?
