Terminally ill wife and husband of 50 years died together holding hands after making suicide pact

A terminal cancer victim died in bed hand in hand with her husband who couldn't face life without her, an inquest has been told. Bowel cancer sufferer Maureen Read, 71, had just discovered her condition was incurable and had just been prescribed a strong painkiller to cope with the pain when she died alongside her husband John, 76. The couple had been together for more than 50 years and were found by their children lying side by side in bed at their home in Bideford, North Devon.
