An Alabama couple in Madison County have left six children behind—after dying a day apart from each other.
Jennifer Norsworthy, 40, was pronounced dead on April 22 after undergoing a blood clot in her sleep, AL.com reported.
According to AL.com, Jennifer had a history of blood clots. In March, she was also hospitalized with irritable bowl syndrome (IBS).
Her husband Toby Norsworthy, 38, died of a heart attack in his sleep on the morning of April 24.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple were pronounced dead at the same Huntsville hospital, by the same doctor and nurse.
Tabitha Washburn, Toby’s sister, told AL.com she believed the death of Jennifer may have been the reason for Toby’s death.
A day before Jennifer’s death, Toby took to Facebook and tagged her in a video of a ring he had planned on buying her for mother’s day.
Jennifer and Toby had three children together: Mickey, 11, Aurora, 9, and Lainie, 6—Quentin, 20, Riley, 17, and 13-year-old Bradley are from Jennifer’s previous marriage.
