The discovery was made by Mr. D.C. Town, over whose store Mr. Thomson lived alone. Dr. W.E. Brown decided that death had occurred some hours before, apparently due to a heart attack.

In 1899, when the call came for volunteers for South Africa, he joined the Royal Canadian Regiment and served through the war, taking part in the hot fight at Paardebury, where the regiment lost heavily, and marched with it from the Orange River to Pretoria. He was of the opinion that the South African campaign had more hardships for the troops than the Great War in which he also served in the artillery. He was a staunch Britisher, and only regretted that age prevented him from taking the field again when the present war broke out. Mr. Thomson had a strong physique and was a noted sportsman. He played defence for the Orillia Lacrosse Club for a number of years, and was a member of the rinks that brought home the Ontario Curling Tankard several years ago.
