Aimer was killed in an accident during the demolition of a wall at Polepark Works, Dundee, on 5 June 1935, aged 37. Having seen that the tottering wall would bring down with it a heavy roof beam, and fearing that one of his workmates was in danger, he dashed through a doorway, being struck in the head by the falling beam.[2]
