The emerging details make it all so much more tragic. A demented man living alone in his house for a week while his wife lies dead, very possibly re-realising she is dead over and over again but being unable to do anything about it. Just heartbreaking.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Fucking hell. I hadn’t caught up on that. So incredibly tragic. That was really hard to read.

I had assumed it was something innocuous that meant they both at least just went in their sleep.

It doesn’t really need saying but as an actor he was clearly one of the best to do it.

Yes, it's hideous.

Tragic - hopefully dignity and respect will prevail after these circumstances came to light.
