He couldn’t live without her.

Craig Jackson and Cherry Turner were childhood sweethearts, together since they were 13. Their love story seemed unbreakable… until a police mistake shattered everything.

In December 2021, armed police raided their home. Craig was arrested at gunpoint in a wrongful arrest. (YEET Magazine) Cherry watched helplessly as her fiancé was taken away. She was traumatized, scared, and anxious. Her life would never be the same.

The police knew the next day that Craig was innocent. But they didn’t tell him or Cherry for two months. During that time, Cherry’s mental health deteriorated rapidly. She developed severe anxiety and became deeply depressed.

By July 2022, Cherry tragically took her own life. (YEET Magazine) Her death left Craig devastated. He was already battling kidney failure and needed regular dialysis to survive. But grief overwhelmed him. “He told his family he couldn’t live without Cherry,” said his mother. (YEET Magazine YouTube)

In January 2025, Craig made a heartbreaking decision. He stopped his life-saving treatment. Without dialysis, his body could not survive. He died, leaving his family and friends in shock.

This story is more than a tragedy—it’s a warning. A police mistake may seem like a “legal error,” but the consequences can ripple into lives in unimaginable ways. Trauma, grief, and anxiety can affect not just mental health, but physical survival.

Cherry and Craig’s story highlights several key lessons:

• Police accountability matters. Mistakes should be corrected immediately. Delay can cost lives.
• Mental health support is crucial. After trauma, waiting weeks or months can be too late.
• Grief can be fatal. Emotional pain sometimes prevents people from taking care of themselves.

“I saw green dots reflecting from the wall from the armed police, dogs were barking, sirens were blaring and I was pinned to the ground.” – Craig (YEET Magazine)

“My son just decided to give up the treatment needed … If Cherry was still alive today, Craig would still be alive.” – Craig’s mother (YEET Magazine)

The ripple effect of mistakes is real. Trauma isn’t just mental—it can impact physical health, decisions, and ultimately life itself. The story of Craig and Cherry is heartbreaking, but it’s also a reminder that mental health, grief support, and immediate action after traumatic events can save lives.

Rest in peace, Cherry Turner. Rest in peace, Craig Jackson. May others learn from your story before it’s too late.
