REVEALED: Popular dad took his own life after paedophile claims | Rare Historical Photos

A dad took his own life after claims were made on Facebook about him being a paedophile, an inquest heard. Anthony Haley, 41, went missing Cornwall on September 22, 2021 and his body was found in woods later that month on September 30.

Anthony was described as a "funny and outgoing joker of the pack" who was 'shocked' at the allegations made online, CornwallLive reports. His partner said he had no other concerns but went missing shortly after the claims and never returned home.

An inquest into the death of the dad and South West Water employee heard from his partner Leeann Notley. Ms Notley told the inquest how she met Anthony when they were in Poltair School together but went different ways in life, with Mr Haley joining the Royal Navy and moving away and them both entering other marriages.
