Today I was on my way out with my DH when we noticed something on the pavement opposite our house. We stopped the car to take a look. We discovered a man dead on the pavement.

Goodness, how awful for you, this man and his family!

I do hope you’re ok flowers

Thanks everyone. I'm sorry that some of you or family members had similar experiences. Yes Mt61 dying in the street alone (he was on the pavement but his feet were on the road) is not what we would want for our loved ones. As some have said, I'm sure he knew nothing about it.

Nothing left to say, it has all been said, just sending my kindest thoughts to you flowers

Eight years ago my husband went out to walk to his allotment. He collapsed and died a short distance from our house, just inside a neighbour’s driveway. I will forever be grateful to all those who tried to help and the fact that someone was there with him at the end to comfort him and hold his hand.

Streaky flowers How dreadful. I have a friend who had a similar thing happen with her DH. Keep doing what you enjoy folks. You truly never know.
