Etobicoke seniors in double suicide heartbreak

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.
