The nurse who saw them was absent for about 10 minutes and when he arrived, he saw the couple holding hands and not moving.
When he called the doctor, he went to review it and had to give the news that they had died at the same time. The photo was taken by the staff to stamp that their marriage is still alive in images and in the hearts of those who knew them.
