A man described as a ‘maverick’ killed himself just moments after learning that his soulmate had hanged herself in a Romeo and Juliet style tragedy.
Police found Iain Fotheringham in a pool of blood with self-inflicted stab wounds to his neck and torso, an inquest heard how he had stabbed himself after learning that soulmate Nicola Jordan was dead.
The 58-year-old Scotsman was left “reeling” after Nicola’s mother broke the devastating news that Nicola, 50, had hanged herself in her nearby bungalow at Coombe Park in Downderry, Cornwall.
