I came across a story that Guy Gilpatrics wife Louise was hospitalised in 1950. By accident, her medical status card was swapped with that of someone else and she was told she was terminally ill. The couple then decided to commit suicide together, which they did on 7 July of the same year. After their deaths, the medical error was noticed.
I have read of their suicide together but I never heard of the mistaken diagnosis. Does anyone know this to be true and/or have a source for this info?
