But the truth is a little more grim than that; in a horrific ending to a fairy tale romance, a British journalist reports that the musician, writer and artist stabbed his wheelchair-bound wife 30 times before slashing himself to death.
Harry, 46, was a volatile personality but a devoted husband to wife Mandy, 39, who was terminally ill with multiple sclerosis.
The bodies of the couple were found in their home on the Shetland island of Burra (Scotland), and the two were buried in January 2007. The deaths were reported to be a suicide pact between a loving, desperate man and his dying lover.
But yesterday her mother admitted that for the last 16 months, she's been hiding the terrible truth.
Mandy's mother Grace Williamson says, "We have only been able to cope because they are both now beyond pain. Quite simply, he went mad."
Peter Gillman, the journalist and author whose investigation uncovered the truth, tells the Daily Mail, "My wife, Leni, and I began by investigating what we believed was a poignant love story. We soon realized there was more to it. The records indicated they died from blood loss and not from drugs."
