What the fuck? That's tragic but what are the chances?

It's actually not uncommon for people to die shortly after their spouse dies, but that's usually due to depression or generally losing one's will to live. In this case, I would imagine that the stress of the husband dying might have caused the wife's heart attack.

Broken heart syndrome. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takotsubo_cardiomyopathy)

Damn, that sucks for Flutie. RIP. Hopefully he remembers the good times he had with his parents and doesn't focus too much on the heartbreak of losing them both within hours.

Wow, unbelievable. RIP.

Actually not as uncommon as you might think; there's no statistical algorithm that can measure true love.

No algorithm to calculate the true probability for such an otherwise unlikely set of 2 events to occur given the confounding variable of the two subjects being emotionally bound to one another. (A dependent sample, so to speak)

Dude, have some class ok? Do you always have to pester people? This is about a tragedy to a cool guy, ok? How about cooling your crap, ok?

This is a sad story, terrible actually.

Independent vs. dependent sampling. Statistics 101.

I had two grandparents die of the same kind of cancer about a week apart last year...but I guess I have to give the tragedy championship belt to Flutie now. Oh well I had a good run.
