"Just like Romeo and Juliet"

[Eve]

ROME (AP) - Evoking comparisons to “Romeo and Juliet,” a husband in northern Italy killed himself out of grief for his ailing wife, hours before she came out of a coma, Italian state TV reported Friday. On Wednesday, the 71-year-old man committed suicide at the couple’s Padua-area home, according to RAI and the Italian news agency ANSA. About 12 hours later, the wife emerged from the coma and asked for her husband, ANSA said.

If she has a shred of decency, she will cry, “O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die,” and stab herself.

I do remember well where I should be, and there I am.”

Milhouse: We started out like Romeo and Juliet, but it ended up in tragedy.

Any else suspicious she was faking it?

Beguiled, divorced, wronged, spited, slain!
Most detestable death, by thee beguil’d,
By cruel cruel thee quite overthrown!
O love! O life! not life, but love in death!
