What a tragic, fascinating, and haunting (for me anyway) news item–Elderly Widow, Her Caretaker Found Dead:

A 106-year-old widow and her 30-year-old caretaker died together in an apparent suicide pact at the home they shared, authorities said.

There are so many unanswered questions and I’m left to wonder if this was a Harold and Maude relationship or merely platonic or mother/son or what. And how could he strangle her? And why did he, at age 30, think it was his time to die? Could he not stand the thought of living without her?
