Following Teresa’s call to 911, the police quickly confirmed that he had died.
The police treated Teresa’s death as a “crime scene” yesterday, but she wasn’t arrested. Teresa had been his partner for 36 years and was very upset.
She was later able to say goodbye and spray his body with his favorite aftershave.
When they first saw that he had fallen out of the window, Teresa said, “They thought I might have killed him.”
That really was a freak accident.”
“There wasn’t a fight, and I hadn’t hit him.”
“I think Honeybun the cat got her head stuck, and he pushed the window up. He lost his balance, and he fell out onto the patio.”
“As he fell five feet, he broke the roses on the wall.”
“I was told that the blow to the back of the head on the concrete would have killed him.”
“He might have been there for an hour or an hour and a half.” He was pale and cold.
“I put a pillow under his head.” I called 999 and told them my partner had an accident.
