Inseparable couple planning wedding in Cyprus both died after house fire tragedy
An inseparable couple who were due to marry next year both tragically died after being pulled from a house fire. Rebecca Foster, 32, and Kieran Naylor, 33, had been together for 10 years before the devastating blaze at their Cheshire home.
They had been looking forward to their wedding in Cyprus in 2024 while they were also renovating the property that was to be their "forever home". But the couple were both left in a critical condition with serious injuries following the fire on Delph Lane, in Daresbury.
They were rushed to separate hospitals in Warrington and Whiston following the blaze in the early hours of December 12 last year, but Rebecca died two days later before Kieran's death on Boxing Day. An inquest was held into their deaths yesterday (June 19), the Liverpool Echo reports.

The inquest heard a loving tribute from dad John Foster who said: "They were massively in love. They spent all of their time together."
In a statement read out to the court, it was heard this was their fourth house they were renovating together but that it was "meant to be their forever home" where they would live with their dog Skye and cat Nyla who were "like their children".
Mr Foster added they bought the home in August 2021 as a project they could complete together and Mr Naylor, as a cable jointer, was doing 90% of the work himself. The hearing heard how some rooms in the house were "back to brick" but the garden was the only thing completed.
Mr Foster said during the early hours of December 12, police asked them to go to the hospital as their daughter was in critical condition after a house fire. He told the hearing they were told she was "brain dead" as
