George Lysaght Hosford Steede, Rafvr

Hello,
I’m wondering if anyone has any way of getting info on the above and how he died?
By way of background, whilst researching the family history, I visited the cemetery where numerous members of my husband’s family are buried. I found it a strange coincidence, as a relative whose father was from Rostrevor, a small village, also served with RAFVR and died aged 20 after crashing his plane in 1940.
Thanks,
d

Sergeant GEORGE LYSAGHT HOSFORD STEEDE, 1063715, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve died age 21 on 14 October 1941
Son of Dr. Benjamin Hosford Steede, M.A., M.D., and of Maude Steede, of Belfast.
Remembered with honour ROSTREVOR (KNOTTY ASH) CEMETERY
