Manchester City doctor dies after falling 300ft from mountain where he proposed to wife 27 years earlier

A Manchester City medic fell 300ft to his death when he and his wife visited a mountain where he had proposed 27 years before, an inquest heard.

Dr Jamie Butler, who became senior medical officer with the team in 2009, was visiting Striding Edge in the Lake District with his wife Margaret in November last year when tragedy struck, the Mirror reports.

The pair, from Altrincham, wanted to go back to the Lake District spot where he had asked her to marry him in 1994.
