A 68-year-old man took his own life after being told he was going to be evicted from his home following the death of his partner. Retired Andrew Wood was devastated when his partner, Cynthia, died and he was left alone - and was then told he would have to leave the council property he had shared with Cynthia for decades because it was in her name.
An inquest heard how Mr Wood was found dead at their home in January this year, weeks after Cynthia's death.
It was heard he'd been struggling with the loss and with the news that he would need to leave their home, reports CornwallLive. His partner's daughter said "he felt he had nothing to live for" as her mum "was his world".
