Later Life
Lyle-Samuel’s fortunes did not improve after he left Parliament. He had always had close connections with the USA and he now went to live in New York. In 1928 debts he had built up in Britain got so large that his affairs were put into the hands of the Official Receiver. At this time he was described as residing at a hotel on East 54th Street and of being without occupation or in possession of any assets in Britain. As noted above, his personal life was also filled with tragedy when his son, Winstone, was involved in a bobsleighing accident in Switzerland and died of his injuries at the age of 23 years.
Lyle-Samuel died in New York in 1942.
