PC Craig Tinker’s death in Coronation Street
On Monday evening (May 19), Craig was desperate to prove his worth to Kit Green and decided to go out on patrol to deal with the Mick Michaelis situation.
Pulling Mick over for drunk driving, Craig then asked to test his breath with a ‘kit,’ but the mere mention of the word ‘kit’ was enough to get Mick really angry.
Craig tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding and that Kit wasn’t out to get him but Mick wouldn’t hear of it.
Mick the grabbed a bat and whacked Craig over the head, leaving him unconscious on the floor before making a run for it.
This evening, Maria Connor found Craig on the floor and called for an ambulance.
At the hospital, Craig started to wake up and told Asha that he knew who hurt him. However, before he could tell her, the swelling on his brain impacted him too much and he passed away.
