Wayne had been drinking and using cocaine hours before he took his own life. He knew Amy was anti-drug so he tried to hide his problem from her.

Two weeks after the incident, Amy spoke to the Daily Record revealing how she drove to a bridge and nearly jumped off because of the pain of losing her partner, who she described as her ‘soulmate’.
