On the morning of 26 September 2010, Heselden was riding his Segway while walking his dog near Thorp Arch; when he reversed the Segway to allow a dog walker to get past him, he fell from a nearby cliff into the River Wharfe.[8][9][10] A "rugged country version" of a Segway was found in the water.[6][11] The coroner concluded that Heselden had died of "multiple blunt force injuries of the chest and spine consistent with a fall whilst riding a gyrobike".[12] His estate, bequeathed to his widow and family, was worth over £340,000,000 and he was ranked in the top 400 members of the Sunday Times Rich List.[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fp7s4wqefgxohrjqpgmng2ph/bafkreihk2ol3ekv7mv3mjbksslxvlwmw4mu2i2wpbjlzuarkya5kzkgm6y)
