A high-flying East Yorkshire businessman has died, aged just 35 years.

Terry Dixon, who became a top investment manager in Japan, featured as a business commentator on television programmes during his meteoric rise.

However, his high-pressure lifestyle took its toll and, over the last two years, Terry suffered deteriorating health.

He was found with a broken ankle in King's Cross railway station, London, earlier this month.

He had an operation on Sunday, August 15, which seemed to go well, but died at around 3am the following day.

Terry's family, who live in Wetwang, have been left mystified by his sudden death.

His father Nick Dixon led the tributes to his "fun-loving" son.

He said: "It was a big shock when we heard. We were on holiday and got a knock on the caravan from a policeman to tell us.

"He was found with a broken ankle at King's Cross station.

"He had an operation which seemed to go okay but later in the night he was dead."

Mr Dixon believes the stress of the job became too much for his son.

He said: "Terry was very successful and rose quickly to the top.

"We watched him a few times commenting about business on television.

"But a couple of years ago he got burnt out from his high-powered job and started suffering health problems.

"It was very sad and he had a lonely existence at the end.

"He had no money worries and just went from country to country, hotel to hotel.

"Terry worked hard and played hard.

"He had lots of rugby mates in Japan. He was so kind and well-liked."

Mr Dixon says he has received emails from his son's friends in Japan.

He said: "One friend emailed us to say that, when he moved to Japan, Terry let him stay at his apartment and found him a job where he has been ever since. He said he owed everything to Terry.

"Everyone enjoyed his company. He was fun-loving and always up for a laugh.

"He was also very intelligent and sometimes seemed on a different plain to everyone else."

Terry went to Wetwang Primary and Pocklington School before earning a place at Cambridge University where he studied Japanese.

After working in London for a while, he moved to Tokyo where he worked for the bank JP Morgan.

He was an avid rugby union fan and captained several sides.

Simon Ryan, of the YC and AC Rugby Club in Japan, which Terry played for and captained, also paid tribute.

He said: "In Terry's honour the first team will wear black arm bands and offer a minute's silence at our next match against Korean University.

"We'll also dedicate a club trophy to Terry."

"He was incredibly kind hearted and provided for his team mates."

A post-mortem has been carried out, but no cause of death could be determined.

An inquest will now be held in London.
