Coconut Creek woman killed while driving to see dying husband

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. -- A woman driving to see her dying husband in a hospital was killed after her car plunged into a canal, authorities said. The husband died about six hours later.

Irma Charlot, 74, of Coconut Creek was driving to Northwest Medical Center in Margate about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday when she lost control of her car, police said. She was pulled from the vehicle and rescue workers performed CPR . Charlot was pronounced dead at the same hospital where her husband of 47 years was.

That afternoon, Jean Joseph Charlot, 80, died from kidney failure.

Irma Charlot may have fallen asleep while driving and missed a bend in the road, police spokeswoman Judie Banks said. Charlot was lacking sleep because she spent a lot of time at the hospital with her husband, Banks said.

"They were inseparable," said their niece, Tamika DeGuerre, of Lauderhill. "For years we said if one goes, the other one's going to go too. It's unbelievable. They were so close."

"Irma not seeing Jean again." I dunno. I'm going to bed. G'night, GFY!

Reel bad luck:Oh crap :Oh crap

Haha, oh man that's tough.

what a sad story

Thats kinda freaky

Thats just horrible.

It's kind of romantic in a way... as morbid as that sounds.

I believe they're together now :)

I grew up with a kid who was driving back from the lake with his Dad and they were following a few miles behind his mother. His mother had a fatal accident and they were one of the first ones on the scene. :(

Sad story, but I guess they are together again.

Till death do us part...

thats a horrible way to go. both within hours and one on the way to see the other. :(

from my postion I find mylsef thinking 'atleast neither of them had to live without the other'.

im am certainly sorry to hear that

wonder if the staff told him? of just let him die

:( It leaves a big empty hole in your life, losing someone.

thats exactly what I was wondering.

Wow.. that is tough

she was almost a widow

:Oh crap

that was quite romantic but tragic at the same time....

what a sad news
 

losing your love is hard
but losing your own life is another story

That's tragic. Condolence to the family.

uh-oh... quite depressing :(

not really depressing to me. death is a part of life. deal with it.

It might have been easier for her. Life is hard when you're the last one left alive.

its fate.....

right words - fate. The probably had wedding inthe church?
