He died in a car crash soon after retirement.Shenton came to public attention in 1950 with a series of good performances, culminating in a place at the European Championships as a replacement. Described as the \"boy from nowhere\", he set a new personal best in the semi-finals of 21.6s, in the finals beating off the challenge of Étienne Bally.He won the gold medal at the 1950 European Athletics Championships in Brussels, Belgium in the men's 200 metres in a time of 21.5s as part of the British team that first topped the medal table with a medal count that would not be matched for a further 40 years.
