A few days afterwards, a coroner determined that Kingston passed away from a gunshot wound to the head.

Katy Skerrett, the senior coroner in Gloucestershire, stated that Kingston had lunch with his parents on the afternoon of his death. When his parents went out to walk the family dogs, they came back to find him locked in an outbuilding with a severe head injury.
