Elderly couple die by suicide together after husband's health deteriorates
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"An elderly couple, described as "devoted", ended their lives after one of them suffered from deteriorating health, an inquest has heard. The bodies of David and Susan Jeffcock were discovered in Whitby on 30 July. They had previously sent a letter to their solicitor confirming their intention to take their own lives. The inquest in Northallerton heard that Mr Jeffcock, 80, and Mrs Jeffcock, 74, had moved to the North Yorkshire seaside town following their retirement."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and maintains free access by asking those who can afford it to contribute. The outlet cites investigative work, documentaries, and bipartisan trust to justify support for sending reporters to cover developing stories. An elderly couple, David and Susan Jeffcock, were found dead in Whitby on 30 July after sending a letter to their solicitor confirming intent to die. An inquest in Northallerton heard Mr Jeffcock, 80, had battled bone cancer and likely acted because of pain, and Mrs Jeffcock, 74, chose to join him.
