An Oldham man who made a 'rash decision' took his own life at a North Wales caravan park, a coroner concluded. Gary Croft, 55, was found dead by his partner at Ty Gwyn holiday park in Towyn.

An inquest held in Ruthin on Wednesday (May 25) into Mr Croft's death heard his Marie Little discovered him on the morning of December 15, 2021, North Wales Live reports. Ms Little said she hadn't spoken to Mr Croft for several days before he passed away as she thought he was 'in a mood' after being woken up a few days earlier.

She told the court it was not unusual for Mr Croft, of Littlemore Lane, Oldham, to go missing for a number of days. He had done this on at least 15 occasions previously, the court heard.
