💔 Heartbreaking news from Rhondda Cynon Taf: Joanne Jones, whose disappearance last October led to a massive five-day search effort, tragically died by suicide, as revealed by a recent inquest. 💔
Joanne vanished after setting out on a hike from her Pontypridd home, sparking concern from her husband, Nick, when she didn’t return. Her absence launched a dedicated search involving specialists, volunteers, and even mountain rescue teams. Sadly, Joanne was found in the dense woodland days later.
The inquest uncovered notes left by Joanne, indicating she intended her actions. She had been experiencing stress, yet Nick had “no concerns” when he left for work the morning she disappeared. Her tragic passing has left her loved ones, including her husband’s band, Sister Morphine, utterly devastated.
Our thoughts are with Joanne’s family and friends as they endure this unimaginably sad time. Special thanks are extended to all who contributed to the search efforts, from emergency services to members of the community. 🎗️
