Father of slain child dies two weeks after funeral

Approximately two weeks after his daughter Shani Coke was laid to rest, distraught father Aston Coke took his final breath on Thursday.

Denise, a relative, confirmed his death with THE WEEKEND STAR. She said that although he was battling colon cancer, Coke died of a broken heart.

“He was in emotional and physical pain because as expected he was not the same from his daughter was killed. He wasn’t happy and he didn’t even get a chance to go to her funeral because he was very ill. Everybody is really just broken hearted,” she said.
