A husband died just hours after telling his wife "I won't be long behind you" when she suffered a fatal fit in her bed. Adrian Cross, 45, killed himself at home following the death of wife Tammy, 37, who passed away at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales.
A joint inquest heard that he was overcomed with grief and was discovered in their bed with a photograph of the couple, who married in the Dominican Republic in 1999, in his hand after taking an overdose.
Fighting back tears as she spoke at the inquest, Adrian’s aunt Yvonne Thornley recalled the moment she saw Mr Cross at the hospital after his wife had died, according to Wales online.“I went up to the hospital and a nurse told me she had passed away. When I went in he was lying over Tammy,” she said.
“He said, ‘I’ll see you later Tam’. And I thought he meant he was going back up to the hospital, but obviously he didn’t.” Asked by coroner Andrew Barkley whether she had heard Mr Cross say “I won’t be long behind you” and “I can’t live without you”, Mrs Thornley said: “Yeah, he was saying a lot of things like that.”
Hmmmmmmm very sad but suicide doesn't heal in any case, it just leaves your loved ones in pains.
