It's not clear from the announcement whether Alexander was a former employee or a former resident. With Alexander's skills (marine engineer, master joiner) he would make an excellent handyman/janitor, but who knows? Certainly he didn't lose touch with his family as it was his son Alexander who was the informant on the day following his death. CONT Alan Runciman, Aug 2012
