Mildred, 93, was despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl,
so she decided to just kill herself and join him in death.
Thinking it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out
Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself
symbolically in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first
place.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a
burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to learn her heart's
exact location.
"Since you're a woman," the doctor said, "your heart is just slightly
below your left breast. Why do you ask?"
She hung up without answering.
Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot
wound to her left knee.
