Williamson County Coroner Mike Burke says 83-year-old Blanche Roberts died Tuesday in a southern Illinois hospital.
A newspaper carrier checking the couple's well-being found the woman in her Marion home on April 27. She was trapped by the body of Fred Roberts after he suffered a heart attack four days earlier. He fell onto his wife, pinning one of her legs. She was unable to wriggle free.
A joint funeral service is planned for the couple.
