Brian 'Big Fish' Shillingford<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A customs officer was pronounced dead at hospital after he was found in an unconscious state at his home on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

He has been identified as Brian Shillingford, also known as Big Fish.<\/p>\n

According to the police Shillingford, from Goodwill, was found unconscious between 9:30 and 9:45 am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to the Princess Margaret Hospital where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

But Shillingford’s relatives said he probably died long before he was found. A close relative, who preferred to remain anonymous, said he received a call about Shillingford after 8:00 on Tuesday morning and when he rushed to the scene he found no pulse on Shillingford.<\/p>\n

He said Shillingford was found face down against a wall with his hands holding his chest.<\/p>\n

The relative said Shillingford was last seen alive on Monday night while cleaning the backyard.<\/p>\n

He said on Wednesday morning that the family is still in a state of shock.<\/p>\n

A coroner’s inquest is expected to reveal the exact cause of death.<\/p>\n

The police said so far they have not suspected foul play but investigations continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A customs officer was pronounced dead at hospital after he was found in an unconscious state at his home on Tuesday morning.
