## Summary

A Metropolitan Police constable in his 50s was found dead on the roof of Kensington police station after colleagues reported him missing when he did not attend his shift. His death is not being treated as suspicious, and an inquest will be held.

The officer was due to face a gross misconduct investigation after reportedly narrowly failing a breath test in July; he had been suspended while the investigation continued. The article says the police breath limit is 13 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres, compared with 35 for drivers generally in Britain. Police Federation figures cited in the report say more than 100 officers and staff died by suicide between 2022 and 2025, with 47 of 70 serving officers who died under misconduct or criminal investigation.
