TORONTO — A heartbreaking love story ended in a tragic double suicide early Tuesday as an elderly couple plunged 18 stories to their deaths at an Etobicoke highrise.
Neighbours claim the woman, 84, was tired of living in severe pain and her ailing husband, 89, refused to live without her, so together they jumped from the balcony of their penthouse apartment at 63 Widdicombe Hill Blvd.
“It’s a shock,” one woman, who lives down the hall from the couple and would not give her name, said Tuesday of the suicide pact.
“They were just the most lovely couple on the planet,” she added, wiping tears from her eyes.

"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."
