Soldier, 18, who walked beside Queen's coffin at funeral found dead in barracks

An 18-year-old soldier who walked alongside the Queen's coffin at her state funeral has been found dead just two weeks later.

Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, 18, took on an important role as the nation watched the Queen take her final journey to her resting place. Now, he has been found dead at his London barracks.

Police and paramedics from London Ambulance Service were called to Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge, London, at 3.48pm on Wednesday in an attempt to save the young man. However, there was nothing they could do and the Guardsman was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, reported The Mirror.
