According to UK Mirror, the 39-year-old was a well-known food critic,and moments before the incident posted on Twitter a link to his final blog post.It read:
“This is a message to thank you for being part of my last adventure in London."Alas, it is time to say goodbye. The reasons ‘why’ will be upsetting for some and very hard to accept for others."Quoting writer Samuel Johnson, he added: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
"Johnson was right, I am not tired of London and never have been… however I am tired of life."

He went on to describe his final meal, which he had at Hawksmoor Spitalfields, eating a ribeye steak with a Donnington Caesar salad.


: "That's all folks, in the words of Dr Seuss, 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.'"Moments after his final post, his followers tried to alert police to his concerning post, but it was too late.
