Buster Edwards - Death

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.

Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Old age is a tyrant that forbids us upon pain of death all the pleasures of youth.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    Your father was ever virtuous, and holy men at their death have good inspirations.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
