A goose named Gretel has died of a broken heart after the loss of her ‘soulmate’, Hansel, who became stuck in a frozen lake.
Gretel passed away after reportedly suffering from depression on Monday, less than a week after her partner Hansel died in the icy water.
Following reports of birds being stuck in the water, volunteers from Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue were called to a boating lake in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, on December 13.
