Terminally ill groom passes away just one month after wedding

A TERMINALLY ill groom – who got his dying wish and married his long-term partner in a poignant wedding ceremony last month – has passed away.

Eric Shroder, 30, who was told by doctors earlier this summer that he had less than a month to live, married Englishwoman Lynnette Coxall on June 24 in Cork.

The couple had planned to tie the knot next year, but brought the wedding forward after Spaniard Eric was informed in early June that he had just weeks to live.
