A much-loved dad who wanted to die at home took his final breath just minutes after passing back through his front door. Fred had been in hospital with serious health problems for nine weeks when he was told he had just a fortnight to live.
As reported by Hull Live, the 61-year-old had a final wish - to pass away in his own home. After being taken to his house in a patient ambulance, he had to sit down and struggled to breathe.
His son, Ashley Butler performed CPR on him but was unable to save his dad. Fred was surrounded by his children - his greatest pride - when he died, as he had wanted.
