Beaming Danny Emsley, 37, posed for wedding snaps with bride Clare, 35, as they celebrated with family and friends on August 17 - only hours later he lost his life
THE devastated widow of a groom who died just hours after their wedding has told pals: "I’m just on a rollercoaster that won’t stop."
Danny Emsley, 37, lost his life just 12 hours after posing for wedding snaps with bride Clare, 35, as they celebrated with family and friends last month.
Clare found him dead in the honeymoon suite of an upmarket spa hotel where they had wed on August 17.
Cops say they don't believe there are any suspicious circumstances surround his death, and he is believed to have been in good health.
Discussing the tragedy with pals on Facebook, Clare said: "I'm just on a rollercoaster that won't stop at the moment."
Previously Clare wrote on the social networking site: "Friday was the best day of my life, where I got to marry the best, most bluntly honest, funniest, kindest and most loving man I've ever met.
"We had a perfect day full of family, friends, love and laughter - we couldn't have asked for a better day.
"The magic ran out at the end of the night and my beautiful Danny was cruelly ripped from my life.
"There is a hole in my heart that can never be filled.
"I just don't know how I'll ever cope without you my fabulous husband."
The couple had been together for seven years and window cleaner Danny had a son from a previous relationship.
They wed at Woodhall Spa in Linton near Wetherby, West Yorks, and were joined by 80 guests.
A friend said: "Danny went to bed just before 11.30pm. Clare went to check on him an hour or so later.
"He was fine so she went back to the party until around 1.30am.
"Her mum came back to the room to help her out of her dress and then left the room.
"Shortly after Clare tried to move Danny to get into bed and realised something was seriously wrong.
"She screamed and ran out of the room calling for help. The door closed behind her leaving her locked out.

"Friends and relatives came to her aid. They had to smash the door of the room down. They called 999 and tried CPR but it was too late."
His aunt Gail Emsley wrote online: "Our nephew passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning a few hours after his wedding."
His funeral will take place next week.
