Death
Edwards died in Lambeth, London, at the age of 63. He was found hanging from a steel girder inside a lock-up garage in Greet Street, Lambeth, by his brother. At the Inquest following Edwards' death, a panel recorded an open verdict, based on testimony that the deceased was too intoxicated to form an intent to kill himself. However, at the time of his death, he was being investigated by the police as part of an inquiry into a suspected large-scale fraud and it is speculated that fear of being re-imprisoned could have led to a suicide attempt.
Edwards was survived by his wife and their daughter.
