Hi
Just thought I would add a personal note to this.
Alex and his wife Ruth were family friends and I was staying with them (aged 6) on the night of his death, which -as outlined- was a tragic accident. Returned to my parents by police car at 5am the next morning, I have recollections of seeing the always calm and collected Ruth in utter distress.
I remember Alex as the kindest and gentlest of men, and he was certainly well respected in his field.
