His critical condition led to his passing shortly thereafter, raising questions and sparking several investigations into the events surrounding his death. Peach was actively involved in anti-racist campaigns, and his loss ignited further protests and galvanized attention towards police brutality and the far-right movements in Britain.The aftermath of Peach’s death saw a significant increase in activism against the National Front and similar groups, as anti-racist organizations sought to bring attention to the growing threat of racism, sparking a broader public debate regarding police conduct in diverse communities. The incident became iconic in discussions of civil rights and law enforcement's role in public demonstrations, highlighting the broader societal issues regarding race relations, the rise of neo-fascism, and police accountability in the United Kingdom.
