A 'wonderful' young guardsman who took part in the Queen's state funeral has tragically been found dead at his barracks, MailOnline can reveal today.
Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, 18, played a key role in the extraordinary procession guarding Her Majesty's coffin as it was carried on a majestic gun carriage from Westminster Abbey, through Whitehall, down The Mall and past Buckingham Palace to Wellington Arch earlier this month.
Police and paramedics from London Ambulance Service raced to Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge, central London after the alarm was raised at 3.48pm on Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they are not treating the death as suspicious.
I wonder ...?
I'm guessing the word "suddenly" will be used somewhere! RIP Trooper.
I wonder whether doctors will be baffled?
We've got baffled doctors everywhere wandering around the streets.
Baffle: Secondary meaning:
Similar: thwart, frustrate, foil, balk, check, block, hinder, obstruct.
Seems a little different now.
To your point they might not be baffled, merely flummoxed. But just the same, it's a mystery.
All I think of now is hundreds of dazed and confused Doofenshmirtz wandering the streets with beakers and stuffed platypus.
He might have needed his 7th dose to touch the queen's coffin
Sacrifice.
First born son?
What did he see that he shouldn't have. It could be just like Clinton's marine helicopter pilots. Rumor has it they were all executed with a shot to the head. That no one survived his presidency.
Soldier the day before mysteriously dying: hey did you guys think that was kinda light for a coffin?!
SADS
Nothing suspicious means it must happen all the time. Probably just got the jab, that's all.
That's sads news. I heard he had a big heart.
Whew lad
Not suspicious at all
I wonder if it's the same guard that collapsed while standing guard of the coffin. If not, that's two bioweapons with a successful shot.
Very sad. Would've had a great story to tell his kids. SADS strikes again.
Hillary info?
''This seems a little light fellas... Ooof.''
Such a waste what they’re doing to “us”.
He only guarded queen's coffin
Probably had to get jabbed to carry rhe coffin
Fake news for comms...aces&8s clown markers...how old? 18
Maybe he heard knocking or muffled pleas for help and reported it.
