The husband who plunged to his death off a 300ft cliff alongside his terminally ill wife and two Dachshunds had likely wanted to do 'the right thing' by her, friends said today.
John and Lynn King, in their 60s, died instantly alongside their two dogs when their silver Ford Mondeo drove off a cliff close to the Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday evening.
John worked as a driver for local bus company Southern Vectis, and is understood to have known the routes around the island well.
Friends who knew John, 67, and his 'frail' wife Lyn, 66, said they have been left wondering whether 'what happened was him doing the right thing by his wife'.
Lynn had a 'terminal diagnosis' and was rarely seen out of their home in Cowes, it was said.
