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 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.
