A nine-year-old girl had to watched her desperate dad try to resuscitate her mum after she fell out of her bed on New Year's Day.
Mia Clougherty looked on as Alan, 40, rushed to help his wife Michelle.
But he was unable to resuscitate her and the 40-year-old mum died on Wednesday, the Daily Record reports.
It is thought Michelle suffered fatal injuries when she fell out of her bed at her home in Partick, Glasgow.
A friend of the couple since described grief-stricken Alan as "completely lost and trying desperately to take care of his wee girl and deal with the situation".
Caroline McLaggan added: “On New Years Day of 2020 a close family friend, Alan, walked in to his bedroom with nine-year-old daughter Mia to find his beloved wife and mother of his child lying lifeless.
“Michelle had fallen out of the family bed after an early night and it is believed she sustained injuries that led to her tragic death.
“You can only imagine the trauma that this discovery has had not only on Alan but his poor daughter Mia at such a sensitive age.”
Caroline has launched an online fundraiser for the family and to make sure “beautiful Michelle gets the send off she deserves”.
She said she set up the JustGiving page to take the financial pressure off Alan.
June MacAulay, whose mum is a resident in the care unit Michelle worked in, described her as “the nicest person you could ever meet. She had a heart of gold”.
Michelle and husband Alan had been together for 22 years.
Alan told the Record yesterday he is staying with relatives because he “can’t face going back” home.
A police spokeswoman said: “There are no suspicious circumstances.”
