Clive's death[[edit] | [edit source]]
On 5 March 2005, Caroline was surprised when Rose Tyler came to see her husband's research on the Doctor. Whilst out shopping, the shop window dummies began invading and Clive was killed by an Auton. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) According to one account, Clive had sacrificed himself upon realising all his theories about the Doctor were true, giving Caroline and their two sons a chance to run away. They were chased and eventually surrounded by two armies of Autons, but the Nestene Consciousness was stopped and they survived.
Having experienced all this, Caroline realised that all of her husband's stories about the Doctor were true and vowed to find them and to have her revenge. (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"])
Following the attack, Mickey Smith visited Clive's wife, but the exact circumstances varied between accounts. According to some accounts, Mickey Smith met Clive's wife, whom he called "Maggie", in the week following attack, and he took on Clive's mantle to prove the truth about the Doctor to the world after discussing it with her, which he found to be an honour; he valued this undertaking more than even his own life. To achieve this, Mickey began anonymously using Clive's website to release whatever information he found.
