After debts, taxes, and costs that amounted to about 6.64,000 pounds, his death came from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his parents' home in the Cotswolds. If followed a bad reaction to medication he took, for anxiety, tied to work stress. Kingston had poured around 1.6 million pounds of his own money into his investment firm, Devin Port Capital, which was struggling badly.
