On August 1st, 1916, Thomas was yarding bullocks when one broke free and fled down a nearby hill. He pursuited the fleeing bovine on horseback; however, he was thrown from the back of a horse whilst galloping downhill after one of the stirrups broke, causing him to be dragged along the ground,[2] and notably hitting his head on a log,[3] causing a skull fracture[2] and severe injury to his right eye. He fell unconcious shortly after explaining the situation to a passerby,[3] after which he was taken by ambulance to the Brisbane General Hospital.[2] He died as a result of his wounds at the hospital the following afternoon,[4] on August 2nd.[5]
He was buried at the Balmoral Cemetery,[6] following a service on August 3rd[7] that left from his parents' house on Old Lytton Road.[8]
