38-year-old Royal Navy Petty Officer Jon Errington Paxton died from a gunshot wound on April 19, 2023, aboard HMS Cattistock while it was docked in Portsmouth Naval Base. An inquest will examine the "security of weapons and ammunition" onboard Royal Navy warships, as well as addressing Paxton's access to the armoury keys. This incident follows the death of another sailor who killed himself on the same ship 12 years prior.
