During the expedition in the crash site inside the "Maze of the Dead", he was scolded for showing fear and wasting ammunition on a seemingly harmless statue. The Eleventh Doctor, however encouraged him and told him that his fear would keep him alive. Bob was killed by a Weeping Angel which lured him in by using the voices of the other clergy and then snapping his neck. The Doctor could still communicate with Bob through Octavian's communication device. He explained that the Angel lacked a voice. It had callously stripped Bob of his cerebral cortex and copied his consciousness to use him as a mouthpiece to talk to the Doctor. Bob's consciousness confirmed that, while painful, at least his death "was quick and didn't hurt as much as he thought it would."
