An 'amazing' dad who was struggling to come to terms with the deaths of his father and his best friend was found dead in his car close to where they are buried. The body of John Patrick Duffy in a Volkswagen Golf parked across the entrance to Middleton Cemetery, Greater Manchester, was discovered by a mourner at around 8.30am on Saturday, March 4.
Paramedics were alerted and raced to the scene but the 37-year-old could not be saved, as reported by Manchester Evening News. He was found to have died of a drug overdose with a coroner now ruling he took his own life. Mr Duffy's wife Jodie described him as 'loyal, honest and the best dad and husband that she and her children could have wished for', an inquest heard.
"He will be sadly missed," she continued. "He was a loving son, brother, and uncle, but most of all he was the most amazing dad to his daughters who he adored, who loved him and will miss him."
