A shell-shocked Charles reveals the coroner has established a cause of death for Ethan
AN Emmerdale killer falls apart as the weight of her dark secret becomes too much to cope with.
The fictional Yorkshire village was dealt another sad loss last month when Ethan Anderson collapsed at home before dying later in hospital.
His death came hours after he was left injured in a hit-and-run, which viewers know was carried out by Ruby Fox-Miligan.
Ruby wanted to get revenge on Ethan after the solicitor had left her son Nicky for dead after crashing a car while under the influence.
Ethan knew who had targeted him, with the pair sharing a tense confrontation, but he failed to tell anyone else before he collapsed.
His sudden death sent shockwaves around Emmerdale village, and Ruby has been left in pieces over her actions in the lead up to his passing.
