A source told MailOnline: 'They had split up and Duncan even confirmed this in a statement he put out on his Facebook page last year. A relative said: 'Those who really loved and cared for Duncan are having their own wake for him and everybody is invited. He would be turning in his own grave if he were in it yet. He loved his mum very much and would never have her treated this way.'
'We played songs, and laughed a lot while he was in hospital. I really miss him. And I'm really hurt that people can say these kind of things about me and Duncan. We loved each other.' 'I never knew Duncan before his stroke or when he was in the best health, but he was a very loving man, kind and caring.'
The relative said: 'But she was told that her father would not be able to be laid to rest until any court case was resolved, which could take a long time, so she decided against it.'
