Death
Todd died on 14 November 1942, aged 59, in a motor accident. An inquest into his death determined a verdict of "accidental death". During World War II Todd was serving as a commandment to the Salford section of the Home Guard but it would be on a return home from duty in Oldham that the accident happened. A car he was driving swerved to avoid a collision with a tram, but crashed into a lampost. Todd died along with his colleague Colonel Frank Sewell in the front passenger seat. Two passengers in the rear seats of the car survived. Todd is buried in Wigan (Ince) cemetery.
