Theirs was the ultimate love – living and dying together. They lived till death did them part.
A devoted husband died by her bedridden wife's side after he refused to leave her alone as their house went up in flames, an inquest heard.
Sixty-seven-year-old Roger Freestone stayed with his 65-year-old wife Maureen when he could have saved himself from the blaze that was accidentally sparked by a cardboard box.
The inquest heard that the blaze started in the lounge of their home in March. Both of them perished in the flames.
