Default RIP PC David Rathband

Sad news that he was found dead last night. News reports indicate he has taken his own life, unable to come to terms with his injuries.

I hope he can find some peace now. He didn't take his own life, Raoul Moat took his, along with others, lives.

Poor guy. Moat claimed his sight, his marriage, and eventually his life.

R.I.P

Genuinely sorry for this Guy. He always appeared so positive in news coverage. I hadn't realised his marriage had gone too. Really tragic.

Very sad news. Always acted with such dignity even when faced with scumbags during the hearings

Such a shame, the chap always seemed up-beat and tackling his disabilities head on when interviewed. This shows it was not the case

RIP
