Kinnear awoke early in the evening on the 20th, checked on Bon, and found him unconscious in the car. He rushed him to King's College Hospital, but by then it was too late to save Bon's life. Bon was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital, the cause of death apparently due to the fact that Bon had choked on his own vomit probably due to way he was twisted up as he lay asleep in the back of the car.
The autopsy was held on Friday, February 22. The verdict was 'Death by Misadventure – Acute Alcoholic Poisoning'.
