Cupid, one of the smallest yet most powerful cherubs has been found dead.

A small body no more than 35cm was discovered in a room above the Royal Court of Justice, London, where Sir Paul McCartney & Heather Mills are thrashing out their divorce settlement. A suicide note was found nearby.

The note, stained with tears read;

"For hundreds of years I have been matchmaking by firing my little arrows at the hearts of lovers and joining them together with an invisible cord.

"At first my aim was straight and sure but more recently, my aim has been a bit shaky and I could have a touch of Parkinson's disease. But whatever it is, it has shown up in such dreadful marriage disasters and this one is the 'straw that broke the camels back'.

"I don't feel I can do the job properly anymore, so it's time to hang up my bow and arrow and bow out gracefully."

In a scene reminiscent of Heath Ledger, mixtures of pills (including Viagra) were found scattered around the lifeless cherub.

A Coroner has been informed and an inquest will take place on Thursday.
