The couple had failed to maintain contact after setting up camp last week on the shores of Loch Awe, near Dalmally, Argyll. Loch Awe is a globally renowned fishing destination, where fishermen flock in pursuit of the legendary Ferox Brown Trout, as well as pike and sea trout. Situated in the heart of Argyll and Bute in Scotland, it's a majestic freshwater lake famous for its rich history, vast size, and significant water catchment area.

However, their journey ended in tragedy before the afternoon of Saturday, June 7 when Police Scotland officers found the couple's bodies. A spokesman for Police Scotland confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances, reports the Mirror. Adele's heartbroken mother, Anne, shared a touching tribute on Facebook, accompanied by a photo of herself with her daughter, and wrote: "I am devastated to be writing this - my eldest daughter Adele and her partner Craig have sadly passed away.
