Woman finds love again after meeting man who resembles her dead fiancé

Berkshire: love-struck woman has met the man of her dreams for the second time - after falling in love with a doppelganger of her dead fiancé.

Naz Faruk, 28, was pregnant with the couple's first child when fiancé Mark Ashdown was tragically killed in a motorbike accident last July.

Heartbroken Naz gave birth to Sia in February and thought she would never meet a man to share her life with again.

But just a few months later she was smitten for a second time - with the spitting image of her daughter's father.

Naz had signed up to an online dating site and soon began talking to 23-year-old Michael Miller.

And she was shocked how similar he was to her late fiancé.

She said: "It was so crazy, I felt as thought I was talking to Mark but it was Michael.

"Nothing will ever replace Mark but it was surreal to meet another person so alike to him.

"It took two months of talking online before me and Michael met but we hit it off straight away.

"Mark was caring and was emotional and I found that Michael was exactly the same."

The double of Naz's dead lover not only is a similar height, has a similar hairstyle and colour, and the same blue eyes, he also plays the guitar – just like Mark did.

Naz added: "People are always making comparisons between Michael and Mark.

"I just feel so lucky to have found someone who understands me like my fiancé did, I never thought I'd fall in love again."

Mark died instantly when he was involved in a motorbike accident at a crossroads.

His parents had to deliver the devastating news to unsuspecting Naz when she innocently rang his mobile.

She said: "I called Mark as I wondered why I hadn't heard from him all afternoon. I fell to my knees when they told me he had died, I couldn't take it all in.

"He was too young to die – we had our whole lives to look forward to. It was so cruel.

"Apparently he had misjudged some changing traffic lights when he hit another car.

"It was the biggest shock – I had never gone through everything like this in my life.

"I thought we would grow old together. I was petrified I would lose the baby too - the only piece of Mark left with me."

Thankfully, Naz, from Wokingham, Berkshire, had a smooth pregnancy.

She added: "Knowing I had Sia to look after is the only thing that got me through the trauma of losing Mark.

"I never imagined we were soon to become a family of three again."
