Philip and Elaine Marco died after their car became submerged in floodwater
Philip and Elaine Marco, aged 77 and 75 respectively, were driving their car along Queens Drive in Mossley Hill at around 9.20pm on Saturday evening when they approached a dip in the road under a railway bridge, heading towards Sefton Park. Flooding has been a regular feature of that section of road for many years.
A spokesperson said: "Liverpool City Council has committed to fully co-operating with an investigation into an incident on Queens Drive on Saturday 26 August, which tragically led to the deaths of two people. The Coroner has asked Merseyside Police to look into the circumstances leading up to the fatalities, which happened late at night when Elaine and Philip Marco’s car became submerged in flood water.
“They had their own catering business serving the community, they did weddings and bar mitzvahs. But their main interests were their grandchildren, they were so dedicated to their children and grandchildren. "They were much loved parents to four children and 10 grandchildren. The family are arriving overseas from America and Australia to mourn their loss. They were due to celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary next week and our only comfort is knowing that they were together to the very end."
