They were among 10,063 deaths recorded across the South West.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.
Figures reported on a Monday are likely to be lower as a result of a lag in reporting deaths over the weekend.
A total of 147,840 deaths were recorded throughout England by April 11 (Monday) – up from 147,494 on Friday.
