His body was recovered three days after the sinking by the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett, one of four ships chartered by the White Star Line to search for bodies. The ship recovered 306 bodies, and 116 were buried at sea. Only 56 of these bodies could be identified. The only bodies brought to Halifax, NS., were those who were identified, or whose condition would allow embalming.

In Halifax, Lydia Fox, a sister-in-law, claimed the body. She said that his wife was so shaken by the tradgedy that she was unable to do so herself.

However,the authorities soon received a telegram from Mrs Fox, instructing that the body not be released to Lydia Fox and to retain the personal effects. Officials held the personal effects, but allowed the body to be placed on the train. However, after recieving further information sugesting insurance fraud, the body was removed at the next stop, with out the knowledge of Lydia Fox.
