Overview
- Terry Cottle, 33, died by suicide in March 1995, and his heart was transplanted to Sonny Graham.
- Graham later corresponded with Cottle’s widow Cheryl, divorced his first wife in 2001, and married Cheryl in 2004.
- In April 2008, Graham, 69, was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the throat, a death that mirrored Cottle’s suicide 13 years earlier.
- Friends and acquaintances told reporters Graham displayed new preferences, such as beer and hot dogs, and later depleted savings and accrued debts.
- Today’s coverage from the Mirror, Daily Record, and Daily Star summarizes earlier local reporting and coroner details without introducing new evidence.
