His death was confirmed by the University of Essex where he taught political sciences from 1966.

The presenter of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s election night programmes David Dimbleby was a colleague and friend of Professor King. He told Martha Kearney that he was "very keen that we should understand how things work."
