'Fault in Our Stars' couple: Dalton Prager dies

'Fault in Our Stars' couple: Dalton Prager dies

As the end approached, Katie Prager spoke to her husband from afar, unable to be with him.

Dalton Prager, the husband from the real-life "Fault in Our Stars" couple, died Saturday afternoon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis at the age of 25, his parents told CNN.

Katie was in hospice in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, when her husband passed away. The couple FaceTimed as Dalton was dying, said Debra Donovan, Katie's mother.

"She told him that she loved him," Donovan said. "We don't know if he heard her."

RIP

isn't their story, although it's worth seeing. Two terminal people meet and fall in love; that part is similar.
