LOL I think so. 70 years is too long to suffer.

A 93-year-old Kansas City man has been charged with stabbing his 95-year-old wife to death, allegedly telling a nurse afterwards: 'I couldn't take it anymore'.
Harry Irwin is accused of stabbing Grace Irwin, his partner of 70 years and mother of his seven children, on Wednesday, before trying to kill himself, according to the Kansas City Star.

Irwin, his wife's primary carer after since she suffered debilitating cancer, slit his own wrists and plunged a knife into his chest after the alleged stabbing.

LOL'd just a little, but not in an insensitive way. More of an quiet, understanding, lowercase lol. I'm not an asshole like the rest of you guys.
 
MOST killings are justified...at least to the person doing the killing.

In this case, a law that permitted euthanasia/assisted suicide would have made sense.

Dr. Kevorkian? Where are you?

Maybe I got the wrong word to describe it but gist of it is I chucked at what he said. The supposed irony for a lack of a better term is that at end of their lives with her having cancer and after 70 years of marriage he decides to off her because he couldn't take it anymore.

OP, I think you misunderstood. He wasn't saying he couldn't take it anymore in terms of nagging or such but having to take care of her due to the cancer. Definitely not funny.

Totally agree. Gruesome murder scenes are always hilarious, especially when it's your parents and you're the one that happens upon the scene. Can't contain my laughter over here.

I'm not sure you saw this part of the article.

The paper reports he is also alleged to have told a shift nurse he 'couldn't take it anymore' and saying he killed his wife because she was 'arguing and screaming at him all night'.

Harry Irwin told a shift nurse later that he tried to stab himself in the heart but that he must have aimed too low and hit a rib. He reportedly said he killed his wife because she was “arguing and screaming at him all night and he couldn’t take it anymore,” court records said.
