On finding his car wouldn’t start the sergeant pushed it about seventy metres to attempt to start the vehicle on a downgrade. He then sat back in the driver’s seat and collapsed. A neighbour called the ambulance which conveyed Sergeant Gill to the St George Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
