The widow of a "kind and caring" Co-op worker says her husband took his own life because he couldn't cope with the social restrictions imposed during the pandemic.
Simon Gibbs lived in Layham and worked at the East of England Co-op's Wherstead Park centre, until he was reported missing on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.
Early the next morning, on Thursday, September 3, police were called by dog walkers to the Nacton shoreline under the Orwell Bridge where a body was found, later to be identified as the 49-year-old.
