Brit found dead in French home with wife 'was seen crying over pension' and had money woes A British man found dead along with his wife in France had money troubles and was seen crying over a pension, it is reported.
The couple moved to France around 10 years ago and it is now understood that Mr Searle had financial difficulties with his rental business he set up in Les Pesquies which folded in December, 2023, with no accounts filed, according to publicly available documents, reported the Mail.
French police are investigating the deaths of the couple with Dawn found in her pyjamas with a head injury while there are reports that Andrew was found hanging inside their home.
Questions about the couple's possible financial difficulties have emerged with local sources alleging it had taken Mr Searle over a year to settle a bill of several thousands euros, and he was spotted looking tearful in December amid issues with his UK pension.
The bodies of Andrew, 62, and Dawn Searle, 56, were found in the small hamlet of Les Pesquies, near the town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue last Thursday.
