A couple married for 64
years spent their final few moments together clutching each other's
hands tightly before dying just hours apart in neighbouring hospital
beds, it was revealed on Saturday.
Dolores Winstead, 83, and husband Trent Winstead, 88, from Tennessee
died in Nashville's Saint Thomas West Hospital -- five weeks short of
their 64th wedding anniversary. Only a few days ago, Dolores had been
completely healthy when Trent was admitted over his failing kidneys.
With their children Eddie and Sheryl, she watched over him as his
condition worsened and he was moved to intensive care. Then on December
7, Dolores suddenly began to complain a headache and was taken ill.
It later transpired she had suffered a severe brain aneurysm -- and
needed to be connected to a ventilator as -- in tandem with her husband
-- her condition began to deteriorate. Hospital staff placed them in the
same room and the couple were pictured holding hands next to each
other. Dolores died first, with Trent blowing her a kiss when he was
told she had passed before then dying himself a few hours later. ---
