Married couple found dead at home after agreeing tragic suicide pact

A married couple were discovered dead together with their pet dogs after they agreed to a suicide pact, an inquest heard.

A family member who became concerned for their welfare went to check on them but tragically found Cassie Collins, 35, and Francis Collins, 36, dead.

The pair had lived in west Wales but Francis was jailed for lobbing homemade firebombs onto a neighbour's drive and they relocated to Devon in late 2020. The inquest into their deaths, held at Exeter’s Coroners Court, heard how they had a very close relationship, DevonLive reports.
