Elderly couple in their 90s fall to their deaths from block of flats 'in suicide pact because they didn't want to go into a care home'

An elderly couple who told neighbours they did not want to move into a care home have been found dead after apparently jumping from a block of flats. Roy and Glenys Smith, both in their early 90s, were discovered at the foot of the apartment building in Bournemouth, Dorset, where they were housebound. It is believed that they told neighbours of concerns about being put a home the night before their bodies were found by an assistant caretaker at Crag Head, a seafront apartment building. The previous evening the frail couple, both in their early 90s and said to be housebound, said they did not want to have to go into a care home.
