James Morrison’s wife Gill Catchpole was found hanged leaving singer devastated, coroner told
JAMES Morrison tragically discovered his wife hanged at their home after a pal failed to contact her, an inquest heard today.
Gill Catchpole, 45, was discovered at the house she shares with the singer and their two daughters in Whitminster, Gloucestershire on Friday.
A family friend confirmed to The Sun that James, 39, was being comforted by family and friends.
An inquest into Gill's death today heard she died by hanging and was tragically discovered by her husband.
He had been contacted by a friend who had struggled to gain access to their home, the hearing was told.
Police said they were satisfied there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Gill's death.
A post mortem gave a provisional cause of death for the mum-of-two as ligature suspension.
Gill was identified by her driving licence and family members at the scene, the court heard.
The full inquest in Gloucestershire was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
Gill, who shares two daughters aged 15 and five, with James, ran a café called the Cotswold Sandwich Box.
She had previously written about her excitement at starting the business after undergoing a kidney transplant in 2022.
Gill's death is the fourth tragedy to hit Brit Award-winning artist James following the deaths of his dad, brother and nephew.
The You Give Me Something singer met Gill when he was 17 after she moved into his mum's home with her then-boyfriend.
James serenaded his future partner by singing songs from Stevie Wonder’s album Key Of Life.
They eventually got together, with the couple later going on to have their children together.
