Craig Tinker’s death in Coronation Street
PC Craig Tinker’s life came to an end recently as the swelling to his brain led him to flatline at the hospital.
This came after he had pulled Mick Michaelis over for drunk driving (May 20).
Mick was raging after finding out that Kit could be Brody’s dad, and took his anger out on Craig.
Pulling out a baseball bat, Mick whacked Craig over the head with it before leaving him unconscious on the floor.
Maria Connor found Craig bleeding out on the floor with a bad head wound and called for an ambulance.
But sadly, with Kirk Sutherland, Maria, Asha and colleague Jess at the hospital, Craig passed away.
This evening, the Weatherfield community gathered together to remember Craig at his memorial following an off-screen funeral.
This brought to an end Craig’s journey on the cobbles, with Lisa Swain making a heartfelt speech to the late character.
