Percy died aged 36, on 24 January 1919, at home (214 Bramhall Lane, Hazel Grove), the informant of his death was his wife Mary Ellen.

His death certificate indicates that he had a pyloric ulcer (16 years), carcinoma of the stomach and a gastroenteroscopy. In the past, a gastroenteroscopy was typically performed to treat peptic ulcers. It is now rarely used because most cases are bacterial in nature (due to Helicobacter pylori) and there are many drugs available to treat the gastric reflux often experienced with peptic ulcer disease.
