two men commit suicide with same heart

This has to be one of the stranger stories i’ve heard in awhile. Terry Cottle was a 33 year old male from South Carolina who was married to 28ish year old Cheryl Cottle and had four children with her. Terry ended up committing suicide via a gunshot wound in 1995, possibly because he was married and had four children :)

Well, in comes Sonny Graham (pictured above), an old fart with a heart condition. In the same year (1995), his doctors diagnosed him with the condition and put him on the donor list hoping someone like Terry comes into the picture. Well, lady luck must have been smiling upon the old geezer, as just after Terry offed himself, his heart was prime for a transplant and got shoved in Sonny’s chest.

Now, here is where the story gets a bit weird. Thankful for the heart, Sonny decides to contact the Cottle family and ends up sharing letters with Cheryl, the grieving widow. Over a year of communication, Sonny (or better known as mr. viagra) ended up sweeping Cheryl off her feet and she ended up falling for Sonny. Some would say she loved his big heart, but that’s just a cheap joke.

Well, the story ended up taking an even weirder turn. Sonny, apparently unhappy in his life with Cheryl, her four kids, his own two kids, and six grandchildren, he decided to go the route of Terry. He placed a gun to his own neck and pulled the trigger, effectively ending his old life and leaving Cheryl (a former grieving widow of a suicide victim) as, you guessed it, a grieving widow of a suicide victim.

All joking aside, that has to be pretty hard on Cheryl. Maybe she was a nagging crazy wife, or maybe she was the perfect wife, but either way she has to now face the rest of her life as a mid 30’s widow x2, with both of her husbands sharing the same heart, and same fate. She could probably make a reality show of her going on dates just to see the reaction of guys when they hear that story.

Oh, and it’s also reported that Dr. Kevorkian is looking into buying that heart for his patients :)
