The GRO in London has "Special Registers of Birth Deaths & Marriages". These are mostly for events concerning British citizens that occurred overseas. Included among them are Death Registers for the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force in the two World Wars. Many overseas reference libraries and Genealogical Societies with a strong interest in British research will hold copies of these indexes on microfiche. I'd be surprised if there aren't a copies in Toronto at least.

I have searched the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website which gives the basics such as name, rank, etc. but there is nothing there about how he died. I have googled his name in various combinations, but no luck with this.
