It has also been discovered that Graham Thorpe , who is survived by his wife Amanda and their two children, Emma, 19, and Kitty, 22, had mental health issues.

“We are devastated that he acted on that and took his own life. He was so unwell in recent times and he really did believe that we would be better off without him,” Amanda was cited by The Free Press Journal.

“He continued to experience acute bouts of worry and melancholy, even though he saw signs of improvement and the old Graham. He attempted a great deal of therapies, but sadly none of them proved to be very effective. We supported him as a family,” she continued.
