"Newlywed man, 95, dies after wife taken away" by Brett Zongker, Associated Press January 01, 2015
WASHINGTON — A 95-year-old newlywed Virginia man has died just weeks after his 96-year-old wife was taken away by family members to Florida.
Eddie Harrison died Tuesday in a hospital after suffering from influenza, said Rebecca Wright, who was caring for the couple in their Alexandria, Va., home. Harrison became distressed after his wife and longtime companion, 96-year-old Edith Hill, was taken away, Wright said. Wright is Hill’s daughter.
“He lived for her, and she lived for him. It’s the love story of the century,” Wright said, recalling how they would dance and take walks together.
Harrison and Hill’s marriage this year after 10 years of companionship was disputed in court. Their wedding was problematic because Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years.
