In a tragic turn of events, Hugh Henry, an 82-year-old former teacher associated with allegations of child abuse, was discovered dead on train tracks in Buckinghamshire, just two days before he was scheduled to face sentencing.

His sentencing was scheduled for Thursday, just days after Henry's death.

In a statement, Thames Valley Police confirmed that they had informed Henry’s next of kin about his death and that the incident was under investigation by the British Transport Police. The police also indicated that the investigation was ongoing at Amersham Underground station.
Henry’s legal troubles were part of a broader scandal involving multiple former staff members of the school. Hugh Henry had pleaded guilty to gross indecency with a child, while another former teacher, John Addrison, aged 54 and residing on Datchet Road in Slough, Berkshire, admitted to one count of indecency with a child and was sentenced to five years in prison at Aylesbury Crown Court last November. Addrison is also required to register as a sex offender for life. Another individual, David Geddes, aged 71 from Upper Wield, Hampshire, was acquitted of four counts of indecent assault on a minor during a retrial held in March of the previous year.
