once more, Laforey commanded the force which captured the Dutch South American colonies of Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice and also presided over the forces which put down slave rebellions on St Vincent, Grenada and Dominica. In early 1796, Laforey laid plans for an invasion of St Lucia, but his deteriorating health prompted his replacement in that year by Sir Hugh Christian. Taking passage on HMS Majestic back to England, Laforey died en route of Yellow Fever and was buried at Portsmouth upon arrival. Laforey's son Francis was later an admiral in his own right and fought as captain of HMS Spartiate at the Battle of Trafalgar. He inherited his father's estates and baronetcy but died without issue in 1835.
