A policewoman committed suicide after writing a text to a male colleague thanking him for a 'wonderful' date - but accidentally sent it to her husband, an inquest heard.
PC Gail Crocker, 46, met a fellow officer while her husband Peter, 49, was away from their home near St Austell, Cornwall, on a business trip in London.
Later that evening the mother of two typed a message on her mobile saying: 'Thank you for a wonderful evening. Only wish we could do this more often'.


But Mrs Crocker sent it to her husband of 30 years by mistake, an inquest in Truro was told.
He came home and she admitted to having a 'one-off' rendezvous with a male colleague but insisted it had never happened before.
The couple rowed, and the next day Mrs Crocker called in sick from work and drove to a lane two-and-a-half miles away from her home in the village of St Stephen.  She took an overdose and was later found dead in her car on 15 June.

Mr Crocker, of St Stephen, Cornwall, told the inquest his wife had begged him for forgiveness when he got back from his trip.
He said: 'I got out [of the car] and she was in floods of tears saying she was sorry. She told me it was a one-off and she had never done it before.

Mr Crocker told the hearing they rowed the following morning, saying: 'She went on and on again. My work phone rang. I was so angry I slammed it into the ground.


Gail Crocker, 46, committed suicide after sending a text meant for a man she had dated to her husband
After going to the supermarket to buy a replacement phone, Mr Crocker arrived home later that day to find his wife and her car had gone.
Mr Crocker contacted her sergeant at Bodmin Police Station who told him she had called in sick for her shift that afternoon.
He said: 'I didn't sleep at all. I didn't hear from Gail during the night.'
The following morning David Rendell and his wife, close friends of the Crockers, spotted Mrs Crocker's car in the car park at Lanjeth, a nearby village, and called her husband.

Mr Crocker discovered his wife's body in the boot next to an empty bottle of tablets, which the pathologist said caused her death, and suicide notes written to him and daughters Chloe, 22 and Gemma, 25.
Mrs Crocker, who met her husband in Plymouth when she was 15 and he was 17, first trained as a PCSO in Truro in 2003 and became a police constable in 2007.
Mr Crocker added in his statement: 'She was a people person - she would speak to anyone about anything. Being a PCSO was her perfect job.

 

'She was my life.  We had plans.  Nothing was worth her taking her life.  I'm lost without her.'
  - Paul Crocker, 49

'She was my life. We had plans. Nothing was worth her taking her life. I'm lost without her.'
The unnamed colleague with whom Mrs Crocker spent the evening was not required to give evidence or named at the inquest.
Returning a verdict of suicide, Coroner for Cornwall Emma Carlyon told the hearing she was satisfied that Mrs Crocker's death resulted from a deliberate act to take her own life.
At the time of her death colleagues paid tribute to the 'excellent' police officer who was based in Truro and later Bodmin.
Sector inspector Robin Hogg said: 'I have known Gail for several years and will always remember her as an excellent officer with a bright, happy and positive disposition.'
'Gail leaves a husband and two daughters who miss her deeply and are very proud of the role she carried out in the community.'

It was not so harmless

It was not so harmless

It was!
Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Cheating goes beyond intimacy. It is the thought behind the dinner. Read the contents of the text and you will see that she wanted to do it again. Which is why the husband was so angry and she was depressed

Na from harmless dinner e dey start...
Anyway R.I.P to d woman.

Now I beliv dat all dis oyibos have unstable brains...she shud av cntinud beggin na...don't think my nija lady wud commit suicide ova a dinner with anoda dude...or mayb som oda things r involved.

Abi! My question: what if the message mix up didn't happen?

She didn't need to do that. Life at times is so complicated. We live through it all..

RIP ma.

But, does a date automatically translate to having sex?!. This Oyinbo people no stable mentally. Anything can happen any moment. I trust my naija women. Na devil and MTN network go share the blame.

I tell you!

That's their mentality. Simply put the blame on the Devil and the network providers. They just won't accept the blame,even though they intentionally and deliberately agreed to having the date.

Suicide is just too extreme na. There are sure better ways to have solve the impasse between them.

front page thingsthe wages of sin is death...... die hard baby

na lie joor...

She's a good woman but she should not have done that...
*Sighs*
All the right wrong reasons...

I believe only cowards commit suicide.She should have just face the consequence of her action and move on,besides she is not the first and wont be the last to commit infidelity.

She killed herself because her husband found out and not because she felt guilt stepping out on her husband.
She must have blamed her text messaging skills before death.

Nawa for dis dem oyinbo's sef
Abi how does killing her self solves the problem on ground ?
She must have felt high level of betrayal.
RIP to her.

The story sounds somehow. Why didn't she overdose in the car and had to lock herself in the boot? That doesn't sound rational.

Why is the man sounding sad now?

Maybe she was suffering from mental problem.

Women, that's their profession

. double wahala for dead body oh.....

hahahaha!!
Kamikaze!!!!

These oyinbo sef. Every small thing, suicide. Ok not small thing, but suicide

lincolnj88: .
