His life did not end well:

"In June 1955, Tommy Prince made the news for his heroism in saving a man from drowning at the Alexander Docks in Winnipeg. But his personal life kept deteriorating and alcoholism overtook him resulting in his final years being spent virtually alone, living in a Salvation Army hostel. In order to support himself, he sold off his medals.

Prince died at the Deer Lodge Hospital in Winnipeg in 1977 and was interred in the Brookside Cemetery."
