 An inquest into the death of Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor,  opened today in Gloucestershire.  The 45-year-old financier took his own life, according to Katy Skerrett, senior coroner for Gloucestershire.   He died from a gunshot wound to his head.

The coroner said Tom had lunch with his parents, Martin and Jill Kingston at their home in Kemble.  After lunch, Martin took the family dogs for a walk.   

When Martin Kingston returned from the walk, he discovered  his son was "not in the house."   Mrs. Martin went in search of her son before his father "forced entry into an outbuilding," according to the coroner. 

Thomas Kingston was found dead "with a catastrophic head injury."  A gun was found near his body.

The cause of death was a single gunshot to the head.

Una notizia terribile, dolore su dolore soprattutto per i suoi genitori e per lady Ella.

How very sad for Lady Ella and all of his family to have to live with the knowledge of this type of death. Not blaming anyone, but did anyone have any idea that he was having these types of thoughts of ending his own life? Even if they did, you can't monitor every moment of someone's life and some people are very good at hiding their intentions. It's all so very sad.

Perhaps within the family, but the news of suicide was confirmed today. We may never know unless family or friends talk about after the inquest.
