Bruce Reynolds place of death Croydon
Later life
On release he gained a profile as a media "former criminal" figure, and acted as a consultant on the film Buster, with Larry Lamb portraying Reynolds. Reynolds then published his autobiography The Autobiography of a Thief (1995). In the book, Reynolds commented on the curse that followed him around, as after it no-one wanted to employ him either legally or illegally:
I became an old crook living on handouts from other old crooks.
Having either spent or had removed by courts the monies that he gained through crime, by the 1990s Reynolds was living on income support in a flat in Croydon, Greater London, supplied by a charitable trust. Reynolds' wife Frances died in 2010. He died in his sleep on the afternoon of 28 February 2013 at the age of 81. At the time of his death, Reynolds was working on The Great Train Robbery 50th Anniversary: 1963–2013, published by Mpress in July 2013.
