A grieving fiancé refused his kidney treatment and died because he could not bear to live without his childhood sweetheart after she took her own life, his heartbroken family have revealed.
Craig Jackson, who received a kidney transplant from his father in 2017, stopped further dialysis treatment and tragically died in January this year.
He told his mother that he could not live without his fiancée, Cherry Turner, who took her own life on July 1, 2022.
The bride-to-be, 31, killed herself seven months after blundering police raided her home and arrested Mr Jackson at gunpoint in a case of mistaken identity.
She developed an anxiety disorder after her partner - whom she had been with since the age of 13 - was arrested during a dramatic raid on their home in Newcastle.
