After 75 years of marriage, they died at the same time — in each other's arms

Categories: World

An elderly couple from California, Alexander and Janet Tochko, have lived together for 75 years, and some time ago they left this world in each other's arms — with a difference of several hours. They carried their love to the end. The last embrace of the old people was captured by their daughter Aime Tochko-Kashman.

Alexander and Janet, both 95 years old at the time of their deaths, had been "dating" since they were eight years old and got married in 1940. A few weeks ago, Alexander broke his hip neck and found himself bedridden. Janet also got sick. The local hospice provided them with places, and they were able to lie in each other's arms.
