Sorry Grizzly,

I've no access to English newspapers.

The only reference to his death was a friend in Ulster referring to his death.

The friend didn't know him THAT well, as he THINKS he was a native of Dublin.

No family members or the like were mentioned, just that he appears to have ended up his days with not much money as he was a charitable man.
