A heartbreaking honeymoon tragedy in Adelaide has claimedthe life of a British man and seen his husband banned from funeral arrangementsbecause their same-sex marriage isn't recognised.
Marco Bulmer-Rizzi is mourning the death of his husbandDavid but Australian law has effectively stopped him from playing any role inthe funeral.
David died on Saturday during the last stop on theirAustralian honeymoon, when he fell down stairs and cracked his skull.
His death certificate will read 'never married' and alldecisions surrounding the death had to be approved by his father-in-law and nothis widowed husband.
But a heartbroken Marco has gone on Facebook to appeal topeople to please help him get David’s death certificate to read they weremarried. He wrote; 'Please help me in getting David's death certificate to showwe were married.' He has now launched a campaign to try and overturn theruling.
