Thanks for the update. She must have suffered terribly, especially because it sounds like she was no longer able to call for help.

I can't imagine what they both went through.

I had to look up the conditions and yes they must have really suffered

I wonder if one passed away first and the other was being cared for by them and was unable to call anyone.
Maybe they weren't in reach of a phone ?
