Steven Beale dies after being injured in a fire at the Beales’ restaurant, suffering internal injuries that lead to a fatal cardiac arrest in hospital, with a later report revealing he actually died from a liver bleed caused by a sharp impact rather than cancer.

Quick Scoop

  • Steven starts a fire at the Beales’ restaurant while lashing out at Jane, leaving her trapped inside as part of his spiralling behaviour.
  • Max Branning pushes Steven hard into a counter in the burning restaurant when Steven refuses to go through with killing Jane, causing serious internal injuries.
  • Steven is rushed to hospital, goes into cardiac arrest and dies, with doctors later confirming a fatal liver bleed from that impact rather than the brain tumour he had lied about.
  • At his funeral, it comes out that Steven never had cancer at all, exposing his deception and adding to the fallout for Lauren, Abi, Ian and the rest of the Beale/Branning families.
