Dad found dead after finding out his mum was dying - before she died five days later

A dad was found dead at home after hearing that his mum was terminally ill and she died five days after him.

The family of Robert David Courtney, 35, said that he "adored his kids" and "got on with anyone" as they paid tribute to him following an inquest.

Mr Courtney was discovered in his bedroom at the house he shared with his nan on December 1 last year but could not be saved and a coroner has now ruled his death was drug-related.
