A pregnant mum whose fiancé died in April says she will pay tribute to him by naming their unborn son after him.
Bradley Crellin, 31, died on Friday, April 9, at his home on Lutyens Close in Anfield.
His fiancée Becci McDonald, 28, shares a son with Bradley, and she is currently six months pregnant with their second child.

When Becci met Bradley, also known as Lee, around 20 months ago, he was living on the streets.
Becci says the two had built a happy home, and that her daughter from a previous relationship saw Bradley as a stepfather.
The ECHO understands Bradley also had an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship called Hope who "misses her dad very much".
She told the ECHO: "Our ten-month-old son is called Lee after his dad, and I am going to name the new baby Brad, also after his daddy.
"We will miss him so much, but he will forever be in my heart and I have my gorgeous boys from him."
Becci has previously said she and Bradley were joined at the hip and were "best mates".
An inquest held yesterday heard that Mr Crellin had died by suicide at his home address on April 9.
A note which senior coroner André Rebello said "clearly anticipated his death" was found close to Bradley's body.
The full cause of death was given as mixed drug toxicity.
Following this, Mr Rebello said: "Every one of us is going to die, but none of us want to be remembered for our deaths.
"Please remember Bradley's life. Make sure that events in his life are remembered by you always."
Tributes have poured in following Bradley's passing.
The Whitechapel Centre, where Bradley had become well-known due to the time he spent living on the streets, has also paid tribute to him.
A spokeswoman for the centre said: "We were very sad to hear about Bradley’s death.
"We supported him over a number of years and he was well-known and well-liked by staff, volunteers and other members of the homeless community.
"We last saw Bradley more than a year ago as he was settled with Becci but he will be remembered as a polite and helpful young man, who will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends, RIP Bradley."
People have also flocked to pay their respects on social media.
