A heartbroken wife has spoken of her grief after her husband took his own life in the same park he proposed in. Craig Murray, who worked as a car salesman at a local dealership in Stockport, was found dead in Etherow Country Park on May 23, 2020.
The 41-year-old, from Stockport, had asked his partner Jade to marry him at the nature spot, which would later become the site of his death. Craig had struggled with mental health issues for a number of years and been under the care of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust's Access Team and Community Health Team (CMHT) at the time of his death.
As reported by Manchester Evening News, Jade, 39, said: "It’s more than two years since I lost Craig and it’s still incredibly difficult to come to terms with the fact he’s no longer here. We had only been married 18 months when he died.
