At the 1908 Summer Olympics, he won a silver medal in the tug of war event as the captain of the British team, Liverpool Police, for whom he worked as a superintendent. Charles was also a superb marksman and often practised in his spare time with a miniature rifle. On 14 October 1908, his body was discovered on the police athletic grounds in Liverpool with a gunshot wound through the heart, and his rifle was found nearby. An inquest into his death was held, but it could not be determined if he had committed suicide.[1] At his funeral, his coffin was carried to its final place of rest by six members of the tug of war team.
