A watch dealer has been found dead - just one day after his store was robbed by two men.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Oliver White was working at the 247 Kettles store on Saturday afternoon.
Located in an affluent area of London, security footage shows the moment two unarmed men entered the store, before one physically restrained White and the other stole a number of luxury pieces.
The shocking incident occurred at around 2:50PM, with White being forced to watch as the robbers filled a rucksack with high-value items before fleeing.
Surrey Police have now confirmed that White's body was found at him home on Sunday evening. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police has said in a statement: "We are aware of the death of a man in Surrey on Sunday, 26 May. This is being investigated by officers from Surrey Police and is not being treated as suspicious at this time.
"The man who died was the victim of a robbery at a jewellers in Richmond on Saturday, 25 May.
"We ask that the privacy of his family is respected at this difficult time."
Following the tragedy, White's girlfriend - Alana Dredge - has taken to social media to pay tribute to her late partner.
In one Instagram post, she wrote: "My darling boy I can’t believe you're gone. This was our last photo together. This was only 2 weeks ago and now I’ll never see you again.
"The last thing you said to me was I love you. I will cherish you forever, being with you was the best 6 years of my life. I hope you are reading this from up there, I will continue to make you proud."
A grieving Dredge added that the couple were saving to buy their first home together, before adding that she is still sending WhatsApp messages to White's phone, "hoping this is all a nightmare and you'll reply"
"I don’t know how I’ll do life without you, my whole world has ended," she added. "I will never stop loving you - I’m so numb I can’t cry anymore."
Speaking to the Daily Mail, an employee at Parkshot House - where 247 Kettles is based - spoke fondly of White, saying: "He was a lovely man and always had time for a chat. Everybody really liked him."
"I still can’t believe it," the employe added. "It’s very shocking and has left us very upset. Everybody is talking about it because this is quite a safe, middle-class area and you don’t expect something like this to happen."
Our thoughts go out to White's family and loved ones at the time.
