Unvaccinated couple William Stewart, 73, and wife Carol, 69, were married for 44 years before they died "seconds" apart after swift battles with COVID-19.

A heartwarming photo of the couple holding hands at the hospital has gone viral. Tom, 96, "wept" as he talked about his love for Arnisteen, 92, according to the Facebook post.

In a love story reminiscent of a Hollywood film, the couple, who had been together for 60 years, died just four hours apart.
