This is the kind of detail a writer would throw into a heart wrenching story about love. A faithful husband dies just days before his wife wakes up from a 30 year coma.

If the wife wakes up soon after the husband dies you have to ask if there’s a causative relationship there- e.g., Munchausen by proxy
It's far more likely that two people in their 80s would die at approximately the same time by natural causes than anything like Munchausen's by proxy.
I didn’t say die
