A county councillor who died earlier this year has been described as "a loving husband and father" who will be "sadly missed."
An inquest was held on Thursday into the death of Coun Paul Scott, who had represented the Seghill and Seaton Delaval ward on Northumberland County Council. Witnesses including Coun Scott's widow paid tribute to the "respected" father of two. Mr Scott also worked in the office of Blyth Valley MP Ian Levy.
Speaking at the inquest, Coun Scott's wife Sally said: "Paul was a loving husband, father, brother and son and he will be sadly missed."
