This is almost and onion article. A 90-year old couple dies of heat exhaustion in their private homes elevator. Here are some quotes from family members.

We always said we hoped they would go together because if one went, the other wouldn’t survive long.

Especially if they were trapped inside a closet sized elevator for days before they die. Who knows how far apart they died? What an elegant mystery. Did they fade away at the same time? Did one of them cry for days after the other perished?

They were so dependent on each other.

The only thing missing is how cute a couple they were.

We all know one day we’re going to die. This is one of those horrible ones where you’re stuck somewhere.

Perhaps the understatement of the century for people who were found in the fetal position 4 days after they died.

I’m just surprised that they didn’t have an elevator phone. It’s a standard thing for public buildings. Did they cheap out about this necessary expense?
