 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:

As the devoted couple had spent their lives together [63 years], so they decided to end their lives together. The admiral's final order read:

"Our decision was made over a considerable period of time and was not carried out in acute desperation. Nor is it the expression of a mental illness. We have consciously, rationally, deliberately and of our own free will taken measures to end our lives today because of the physical limitations on our quality of life placed upon us by age, failing vision, osteoporosis, back and painful orthopedic problems."
