Not sure what info yuo are hoping for - have you got the death cert? That would say if there was an inquest .

 from freebmd his location of death was Poplar, so here's some info on Poplar docks.

Was he a docker?  Industrial accidents were sadly not uncommon so it might not have made it into the newspapers (unless either a very local paper or there was a wider issue like a string of similar accidents associated with one particular employer).
