An 86-year-old man who shot and killed his 83-year-old wife in her hospice bed before turning the gun on himself had decided he couldn't live without her, authorities believe.
Elwood Osman shot dead his beloved wife of 64 years, Mildred Osman, on the fourth floor of Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania shortly after 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
Staff heard gunshots and when they entered the room, they found Mrs Osman dead in her bed and the body of her husband, in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide.
Relatives have described how the couple were inseparable, and how Mr Osman had struggled to cope after his wife suffered a stroke earlier this month. She moved to the hospice last week.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
