Died 15 November 1922 at the Royal Infirmary, Huddersfield, aged 36 years 137 days [registered in Huddersfield, December 1922]. From the effects of poisoning. One source states that he apparently died from drinking cleaning fluid that his wife had kept in a beer bottle. Another claims suicide, after his football career ended prematurely, and he took up residency in The Slubbers Arms in Huddersfield, his wife found him unconscious with an empty bottle of ammonia nearby. Either way...his death certificate, supplied to us by Ian Bullock, states 'Heart failure, consequent upon having taken ammonia'.
