The children of couple who died with 48 hours of each other say they are still looking for answers over their beloved parents' deaths. Dad Steven Daniel, 48, was found in the River Humble 12 days after he was reported missing by his two youngest daughters on April 18, 2019. It was later determined that he had fallen from Humber Bridge.
Two days later, his partner of 23 years, Jane Cairns, 42, passed away at St James' University Hospital, Leeds. She had been airlifted from Scunthorpe General Hospital after taking a fatal overdose. At a joint inquest at Grimsby Town Hall, acting senior coroner for Lincolnshire, Paul Smith stated that the mum had taken an excessive quantity of medication possibly five days before her death, Hull Live reports.
He told grieving relatives who attended the hearings that the couples' deaths could not be concluded as suicides due to a lack of evidence of any deliberate acts or proof of intention to take their own lives. Their home on Cottage Beck Road, Scunthorpe was later searched by police, however no St James University Hospital notes were found.
