Dark, Sydney (1922). The life of Sir Arthur Pearson. pp. 203–204:
The details of his death may be told in a few sentences. He was awakened at a quarter-past seven in the morning, and a quarter of an hour afterwards he went unaided to the bathroom. He had no valet to wait on him and he always insisted on preparing his bath himself. The bath was enamelled and, on the day before, he had mentioned that it was rather slippery. On the morning of his death he must have slipped forward, striking his head on the nozzle of the tap. The blow stunned him. He fell face forward into the water and died from asphyxia. He generally took an hour to dress, and breakfasted at half-past eight. As he did no1 come down to breakfast, his secretary went to his son, the present Sir Neville Pearson, at a quarter to nine. When Sir Neville went to the bathroom, his father had been dead for at least half an hour.
On 6th November 1982 Neville Arthur Pearson 2nd Baronet (age 84) died. Baronet Pearson of St Dunstan's in London extinct.
