The wounded police officer had recently returned from visiting his twin brother in Australia before he was found hanged at his home. Darren said the pair had always been close despite the distance between them and had even lived similar lives, both becoming police officers and suffering sporting injuries at the same time. He broke down recalling David's biggest fear being a similar accident would befall his twin. David Rathband was due to return to Australia to live in November after finding the attention he continued to receive in the UK too much to bear at times.
