>On 10 January 2007, Horne's body was discovered holding his wife Mandy, who had been terminally ill with multiple sclerosis, in their bungalow in Papil, West Burra. The Sunday Times reported on 13 July 2008 that rather than the "Romeo and Juliet" scene described in many articles relating their deaths, Horse had stabbed her more than thirty times, then killed their pets before turning the knife on himself; both of them bled to death. Actor Tam Dean Burn, who had in the week of Horse's death made a radio tribute to him, said in 2009 after speaking with Horse's female relatives that the 2008 report was "a cruel distortion". It is believed by some that his death was a murder, and not a suicide, as there were inconsistencies with the witness's testimonies, and the door to his home was open when the bodies were found.
