Apparently he was shot by a gang member when a boy was running from a gang and the boy ran towards the TARDIS and the 7th doctor opened the doors and got shot.
He died in a hospital as surgeons tried to 'save' him, not understanding his Time Lord physiology they ended up killing him, the anaesthesia suppressing his regeneration for a few hours.
