Tragedy as grandma, 60, found dead before man in his 50s died in fall from A30 bridge
COPS found a grandma dead before a man fell from a bridge in Cornwall.
Maleta Rosevear’s body was discovered at a property in Churchtown Road in Illogen on January 10.
Investigators believe the 60-year-old, known as Milly, died in “suspicious” circumstances.
She was formally named and pictured for the first time yesterday.
Following the grim discovery, Devon and Cornwall Police were called to an area of the A30 nearby, following reports of concern for welfare of a man in his 50s.
He subsequently fell from a bridge and was declared dead at the scene.
Detective Inspector Rob Smith said: “We continue to carry out enquiries on behalf of the coroner regarding the events which led to Milly Rosevear’s death, which is being treated as suspicious.
“We are not looking at anyone else in connection with the death. Our thoughts remain with the family and friends.”
TRIBUTES
It comes after Milly’s friends and loved ones named her locally last week, describing her as “the most beautiful soul” who “lived and breathed for her four children and grandchildren”.
A friend of Milly’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign fundraising page on her children’s behalf to help with the funeral costs.
It says: “Milly had so much life left in her the happiest, most beautiful soul you could ever meet who would do absolutely anything for anyone.
“Milly was so so unbelievably proud of her beautiful children and grandchildren, and I know leaving them behind is something she’d of never ever wanted.
“Milly was so loved by so many of us, and she deserves the most beautiful send off.”
On Facebook, Milly’s sister Carmen Maria Stevens said: “Our sister was one in a million, amazing in every way, she had the biggest heart you could ever imagine.
“Family meant everything to her. She lived and breathed for her four children and grandchildren. Our lives will never be the same again without her.”
Another sister, Fiona Thomas, added: “My sister was a fun loving person. She would give everyone the last she had. Our hearts have been torn out.
“She will never get justice. All we can do is to show the love through the media. And to respect for the person she was.”
