Diane Kenyon is grieving after being informed of her husband Michael’s death via a phone call while on a bus. Greater Manchester Police say they tried to meet her in person but resorted to a phone call when that didn’t work out.

The call shocked her, and she expressed how callous it felt to be told like that in front of other passengers.
