Trent and Dolores Winstead died within hours of each other
An elderly couple, who were married for almost 64 years, died side by side just hours apart, Metro UK reports.
Dolores Winstead, 83, and husband Trent Winstead, 88, passed away together in Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. Trent had been admitted due to failing kidneys, and a healthy Dolores made sure she was always there to hold the love of her life’s hand.
Slowly, Trent’s heart began to weaken and he was admitted to intensive care – on the same date Dolores began to complain of a headache and started being sick.
Doctors revealed she had suffered a brain aneurysm and she was hooked up to a ventilator. The couple were moved to the same room, where Trent held on to Dolores’ hand. She passed away a short while later on December 9.

The couple’s son, Eddie, lent over and told his father that Dolores had died. Trent turned to face her and blew a kiss – then passed away himself just hours later.
The couple’s daughter, Sheryl, believes her father died that day from a broken heart.
Speaking to Washingon Post, she said: ‘Because she was gone, he just could not handle it. We just watched him die. ‘I hadn’t thought about it this way at the time. (He) literally, he died of a broken heart. ‘Never in a million years did I think I was going to come out of the hospital with neither one.’
The couple were last week laid to rest side by side.
