F/O Ashworth kwam om het leven tijdens een missie aan boord van zijn Mustang. Uit de brief van S/Ldr Lamb aan Ashworths moeder:

"Your son, with the rest of the Squadron, was on a dive bombing sortie over enemy occupied territory. Just as he commenced his dive on the target, his aircraft blew up and the wreckage plunged into a river below. The exact cause of this tragic mishap is not known, but some enemy anti-aircraft fire was experienced at the time and probably one of his bombs was hit by same. It grieves me very much to have to send you such sad news. I can only offer you the consolation of the thought that it was all so sudden that he could have known nothing about it."
