The lifeless body of the seasoned educator was discovered in close proximity to the stage at a London church, where he had been orchestrating the eagerly anticipated Christmas play for the school.
From The Sun UK:
The school Christmas Carol Concert was also due to be staged at the same church venue, but has now been switched elsewhere.
Will Coleridge, Church of England vicar of St Matthew’s, Bayswater in west London told The Sun: “We sadly had an unfortunate incident here on Monday night. It was inside the church. I can’t say too much but it is dreadful.
"I half knew the deceased. Of course the nativity here is all cancelled now - they will do it elsewhere, which is understandable.”
Pembridge Hall School, a two minute walk from St Matthew’s, is a hugely sought-after prep education hub for girls aged four to 11.
It is the sister school to Wetherby, which was attended by Princes Williamand Harry, and actor Hugh Grant.
The school advertises its strong links with the local community, with Friday assemblies and seasonal productions regularly being staged at St Matthew's.
The cause of death still hasn't been determined, but authorities do not believe it is suspicious. More details on the teachers death will be revealed once the coroner releases his findings.
