Death at barracks

A teenage member of the Household Cavalry has been found dead at Army barracks in London.

Jack Burnell-Williams, 18, died on Wednesday after being found unresponsive at Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge just before 4pm, the Army said.

“It is with sadness that we can confirm the death of Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams,” the Army said.

“Our thoughts are with the soldier’s family and friends at this difficult time and we ask that their privacy is respected.”

The trooper walked with the Queen’s coffin from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch last month during her state funeral, according to reports.
