Lawrence S. Newcombe S.R.N.

Lawrence S. Newcombe S.R.N.

Lawrence was a nurse at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He loved creating art, music and gardens. As he exited the station that night, his companion reported that he returned toward the smoke to see if he could offer any help. He was eventually found close to the top of the offending escalator. Cause of death was recorded as smoke inhalation. Much missed by us.

On 10 November 2012 we were contacted by Lawrence's sister, Lynn Ireson.  This would have been her brother's 52nd birthday, but he died aged 27 in the King's Cross fire.  Lynn has kindly sent us the details above and the photo.
