Death

Hall died on 20 March 2012 at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia after suffering from mesothelioma.

Friend and fellow mountaineer Greg Mortimer, who was with Lincoln at the end, said: "It was very peaceful in the end, around 11:45 last night," Greg said. "Lincoln got into quiet, rhythmic breathing—it was almost meditative—and then he quietly slipped away".
