The couple's daughter, Sarah Dunham, disclosed that her dad was the first to feel unwell, and he thought he was having sinuses.

Linda later complained that she had also got "the cold", and on the third day of camping, they said they had to go to a hospital because they did not feel well.

Days later, their conditions had gotten worse, and they were now on ventilators, but their pre-existing conditions made it even worse.

On Sunday, September 26, doctors told the family there was nothing they could do, and the couple would likely come off life-support the following day.

They were in the same room as Cal passed away around 11.07am, and a minute later, his wife Linda also died as they held hands together beside each other.

The young lady advised people to take the virus seriously as she had seen how in one moment people could be enjoying life and the next minute they are gone.

According to Fox 17, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to assist in funeral expenses.
