An 82-year-old Argentine woman who attracted media attention last month when she married a 24-year-old man has died as a result of heart problems.
Adelfa Volpes was admitted to hospital soon after she and her new husband, Reinaldo Waveqche, returned from their honeymoon in Brazil.
She died in a sanatorium in Santa Fe, the city where the couple were married.
Ms Volpes had rejected criticism over the age difference with the groom, who is the son of one of her best friends.
"I don't want to resign myself to the idea that I lost her," a disconsolate Mr Waveqche told EFE news agency.
The couple were married on 28 September in a civil service after several years of engagement, and later walked through a local church surrounded by reporters.
Their love is said to have blossomed when Mr Waveqche went to live with his future bride after his mother's death, when he was 15.

How much was she worth?
He married a rich widow with a bad cough.
My mother used to tell me to keep my mouth shut if I couldn’t think of anything good to say.

Sometimes a guy has to jump on the hand grenade...
This time wasn’t one of those.
“I don’t want to resign myself to the idea that I lost her.”
Why not. She’s a late person!
Boy, talk about a May to December romance.
Mama mia.
He mu$t be $o $ad and I bet he really mi$$e# her.
“An 82-year-old woman died as a result of heart problems.”
I believe its called heart failure. 82 years is a pretty good run.
My goal is to slide into heaven with chocolate in one hand and vodka in the other shouting Man What a Ride.
More like a “February to New Year’s Eve” romance.
More like a payday romance.
Awwww, give the lovebirds the benefit of the doubt. Cynics.
From the picture I think there was money involved and she got what she paid for.
Is your mother a Democrat?
Yeah. Well.
LOL, I’m not even sure what she was. We weren’t very close. I lived with my grandparents and I only saw her on occassion.
Harold and Maud come to mind...
Ah ya beat me to it!!
So who got more money? This putz or Leona’s dog?
