'They did not argue and had not been arguing in particular in the run up to their deaths.
'They were always there for each other,' she said.
Mrs Scott said that her father had tried to hang himself 24 years-ago after being told he was going blind - but that he had not said anything recently or immediately before his death which caused her to be concerned.
When she arrived at their house Mrs Scott said she got no answer so she tried the back door and found it unlocked.
She said she had seen her father’s guide dog, Arnie, and realised something was wrong after spotting faeces and urine on the floor.
Mrs Scott said she went to neighbour Adrian Stoner to ask for help. He went into the house and then returned to tell her that her father had hanged himself.
'I was subsequently informed that mum had also been found and both had been certified deceased,' she said.
Mrs Scott said she was 'positive' her parents' deaths were not connected - and that neither would ihave assisted the other in taking their life.
'They were a wonderful couple who were too much in love,' she said.
