A pensioner died of stress after burglars raided his home and stole his funeral savings, his family have said.
John Jordan's devastated loved ones believe his heart attack was a result of the burglary as the grandad had become "jumpy and anxious" under his own roof. The 84-year-old, who was a great-great grandfather, "didn't feel safe in his home any more" after the raiders broke in and nabbed £1,500 of cash as he lay hooked up to an oxygen machine sleeping.
The yobs were branded "UK's cruellest burglars" in April last year by the Mirror's sister title, Sunday People, in their appeal to trace the thugs. More than a year on, neither of them have been found.
