A 29-year-old man killed himself weeks after his father died, his family has said. Nicky Larkin, from Bridgend, was found dead near a stables in the Vale of Glamorgan where his daughter was learning to ride horses.
Father-of-two Nicky, who died last Sunday, October 23, was struggling to cope with the impact of father Roy’s passing, who was found dead at his bungalow in Bridgend aged 64 in August, Nicky’s mum Julie Larkin said. She said her son was “the most loving, hard-working man who adored his children”.
“It’s been heartbreaking for our whole family, we’re in bits,” Julie, 57, told WalesOnline. “Roy was a good father to Nicky and a good partner to me for 37 years. I was still with him when he died.”
