A married couple described as 'soulmates' were found dead alongside their pet dogs in a suicide pact.
Cassie Collins, 35, and Francis Collins, 36, were discovered at their home in Devon by a family member who had become concerned for their welfare. An inquest into the deaths was held at Exeter’s Coroners Court on Monday June 5.
It heard that three of their five dogs were also found dead at their home in Station Road, Cullompton, on September 11, 2021. Police later discovered their two other larger dogs, dobermans, had recently been put to sleep at the vets after claiming they had been involved in an attack, reports DevonLive.
