Devoted Dog Lover hangs himself
 
DEVASTATED dog lover Steven Anderson hanged himself — after having to have his pet put down by a vet.
Lorry driver Steve, 44, of Wickersley, Rotherham, South Yorks, was found hanging from a tree with the body of his seven-year-old Collie Beaky packed into a suitcase nearby.

Golfers made the grim discovery at Sitwell Park Golf Club, near Rotherham.

His shocked former partner Dawn Daily said: "He obviously couldn't go on without his dog - it is so sad."

She added: "The dog was his life - it was like his family.

"He is originally from Cambridgeshire, where the rest of his family is, so he was devoted to Beaky.

"The dog was everything to him. They went everywhere together. He was a lorry driver and would even take him to work with him."

Steven and Dawn had bought the pooch while they were in a relationship but when they split he kept the pet.

After the dog fell ill Steven took it to the vet but the animal could not be saved.

Dawn said: "Having to take Beaky to a vet to be put down would have been too much for him."

Steve Bell, secretary of Sitwell Park Golf Club, said: "Members were playing the 15th hole on the course when they found the body hanging from a tree.

"The police and ambulance arrived quickly but he was already dead.

"We offer our condolences to the family - everybody at the club is shocked."

An inquest into his death, which is not being treated as suspicious, has been opened and adjourned while enquiries into the circumstances are carried out on behalf of the coroner for Rotherham.
