The Associated Press
A World War II veteran and his wife of nearly eight decades who had tested positive for COVID-19 died together on the same day.
David and Muriel Cohen died within hours of each other at a Longmeadow nursing home on April 10.
Muriel, 97, had tested positive for the virus and David, 102, had been sick but his test results came back negative.
The couple decided to remain together even as staff at Longmeadow’s Jewish Nursing Home tried to transfer residents who were infected to a separate unit.
