An elderly couple took their own lives at home after writing DNR - Do Not Revive - on their foreheads and hands, an inquest heard.
Peter Norris was found dead on a bed in one bedroom at the large detached property in Modbury, Devon, one day last April, and his wife Marguerite Norris was found dead lying on a bed in another bedroom.
An inquest at Plymouth Coroner's Court heard that police and ambulance crews went to the property after a welfare concern was raised by neighbours who had not seen the couple for a week.
