Tina McIntyre accidentally fell from the balcony in May 2014 after a confrontation with Rob Donovan, who wanted Tina to keep silent over her affair with Peter Barlow, the husband of Rob's sister Carla. Although Tina had survived the drop and Rob offered to call her an ambulance, she threatened to reveal his dodgy dealings at Barlow's Buys which would land Rob back in prison. In a rage, he beat her unconscious with a pipe, and she died the following week in Weatherfield General.
