From The Times website we learn that David John Hickman was born on 1 October 1967. His birth was registered in the 4th quarter of 1967 in the St Albans Registration District, Hertfordshire.

In August 1994 he married Claire Vaughan (b.1973) in the St Albans Registration District, Hertfordshire and electoral registers in 2003 and 2004 show them listed at 15a Heath Road, St Albans, AL1 4DS.

The Times website shows that both he, aged 37 years, and his wife were drowned on 26 December 2004 when their villa at the Royal Koko Palm Beach Hotel on the Thai island of Khao Lak was destroyed as they had breakfast. His mother-in-law, Valerie Carroll Awcock, was also engulfed by water from the tsunami as she together with her husband tried to run for safety from the beach.

He is shown as 'David Hickman' on the Tsunami memorial in the Darwin Garden Centre, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7.
