A Scots family have been left heartbroken after watching their beloved dad deteriorate over nine-months after a devastating 'death sentence' diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Peter Sommerville, 60, from Wishaw, died on February 4 of this year - just nine-months after being told he had the condition when his terrified daughter phoned an ambulance as he screamed in pain.
MND is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves. Those who are diagnosed become increasingly disabled as the illness takes over the body.
