A "gentle, reflective and thoughtful" former councillor killed himself after enjoying one last cup of tea in bed, an inquest heard.Retired civil servant Robert Peter Toft briefly served on Much Wenlock Town Council in 2017 before he and two other councillors resigned amid an allegation that procedures had not been followed.
The inquest at Shirehall in Shrewsbury was told that 68-year-old Mr Toft had a cup of tea in bed on June 27 but he told his wife that he was tired and would stay in bed."After a while she shouted up asking him whether he wanted another cup of tea," said senior Shropshire & Telford Coroner John Ellery.
Mr Ellery said the purpose of the inquest was to determine the how and not the why of someone's death."I am satisfied that his death was due to suicide," he said. He recorded a conclusion of suicide.
