A woman who became a widow 36 days after the honeymoon has found comfort in her organ donor husband saving three other lives. Samantha Knott, 48, became a widow just five weeks after honeymooning with ''love of her life'' Graham Knott, 44.
The pair married in the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, on July 2019 surrounded by family and friends before jetting off to Hurghada, Egypt, on their honeymoon. But just days after returning from their dream holiday, Samantha came home from a night out to find her groom unresponsive in bed and ''making funny noises''.
After calling 999, Graham, an industrial heating engineer, was rushed to Blackburn Hospital, and later to Preston Hospital - where doctors found he had suffered a haemorrhage and declared him brain dead. After his family and close friends had said their goodbyes, Graham, a registered organ donor, was taken to the theatre for donation surgery.
