This almost sounds made up, but it's not. A husband and wife married for 72 years ended up dying beside each other an hour apart in the hospital while holding hands. The man went first, and because she was still holding his hand, a heartbeat appeared on his monitor. Nuts.
Gordon Yeager, 94, and his wife Norma, 90, left their small town of State Center, Iowa, on Wednesday to go into town, but never made it. A car accident sent the couple to the emergency room and intensive care unit with broken bones and other injuries. But, even in the hospital, their concerns were each other.
Quite an incredible story.
