Died in an act of terrorism on 22 March 2017 on Westminster Bridge. Kurt Cochran, 54, from the US state of Utah, was in London as part of a holiday celebrating 25 years of marriage to Melissa, who was seriously injured in the attack. He died at the scene on Westminster Bridge from multiple injuries. CCTV footage of the attack, played at the inquest, showed the moment Mr Cochran saved his wife's life by pushing her away from the path of the terrorist's car before being hit by it himself. Mr Cochran owned Onion Street Studio, a sound-recording studio in his home state.
