From the Paper:

"I found out later my mum had gone down to visit him quickly before coming home, she found him lying on the couch. After a post-mortem took place we found it he had died as his arteries to his heart were blocked, stopping the blood flowing to his heart. My Gran in particularly was devastated, her world was ripped apart. My Gran hadn't had a good life, my great grandfather died a slow and painful death after suffering a long battle with cancer, my great Gran shortly after died too. Her brother Robert died when he was 10 and her other brother Billy had passed away the previous year after he too also lost his life battling with cancer. Through all those tough times my papa had stood by her and helped her through what she seen as a black tunnel with no ending. My Gran a few months previous had got a new job after being made redundant in her previous job where she worked in a bakery for more than 10 years. She embarked on a new career path at a much later age in the field of Care and was appointed a job as a Home Support Worker, it was a job she was very proud of, although this meant she spent up to four days solid away from home working and then was back home for three days before going back to work for four. When she heard this news she assumed it was her fault, that she wasn't there with him and this was all down to her working away allot from home."
