Married, in love, and growing old together is the stuff of romantics but can sometimes take an unfortunate turn as in the case of an Ohio couple. Carol Johnson had been confined to a care facility for a month and a half but was soon set to be discharged due to her insurance running out. George, her husband, was distraught over the discharge and doubted about his ability to care for his wife which lead the two to agree to a plan that would solve their problem. It turns out that plan was a murder suicide which saw George shoot his wife and turn the gun on himself. Let us hope both of them can find the peace in death that they lost at the end of their lives.
