Security staff discovered his body after concerns arose from his prolonged absence. Gest's final days were spent in isolation, battling serious health issues, which complicated his already frail condition. His sudden death left his friends in the entertainment industry and family members shocked and mourning.

Gest's time in London was marked by a significant lifestyle change as he had settled into a luxury suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Canary Wharf.
