He faced eviction after the death of his partner
Andrew Wood, 68, was found dead at his home following the death of his "best friend" and long-term partner. The retired labourer was devastated when his partner Cynthia died and he was left alone. His partner's daughter said "he felt he had nothing to live for" as her mum "was his world".
An inquest held at Cornwall's Coroners Court in Truro on Tuesday, July 11, heard how Mr Wood had never expressed any desire to take his own life prior to the loss of his partner. He was found dead at their home on January 5, 2023, weeks after Cynthia's death. It was heard he'd been struggling with the loss and with the subsequent news that he would need to leave their long-term home.
Andy's stepdaughter said he was also her mother's carer. She added: "He did everything for my mother and he doted on her. She was his world and he loved her with all of his heart. When my mother died Andy was left heartbroken and said she was the best person he'd ever met and she was his one and only best friend."
