He was committed to Leicestershire and Rutland Lunatic Asylum 2 March 1859, where he died 12 July 1864, aged 30. His sister Jane Bott was in attendance.
Leicester Record Office microfilm DE3533/145 contains his admittance records to the asylum, while DE3533/189 contains his patient records (both attached here).

There is another couple, James and Jane Bott, also with a child called George born in1860, but this James was still alive in the 1871 census, so this James and this Jane are not "ours".
