LOL!! I've been thinking the same thing. Her agent said she "died peacefully in her sleep," then last night I saw a couple of articles that claim Betty's aide told Carol Burnett she'd called out to her late husband just before she died. Either she talked in her sleep, and her aide was in the room at the time to hear it, or she was found dead the next morning, having died in her sleep. It can't be both. If the aide was in her room at her time of death, and witnessed Betty talking, that means the aide was either sleeping with Betty, or was holding a vigil in her final hours. I realize that some people, when they die, do call out to loved ones, but is this just a fantasy created to make her death sound like it was more than what it was? Hollywood does love to make things up.
People tend to “see” former friends and family that have passed on right before they die themselves. I don’t see any reason why she couldn’t have mentioned her late husband, went back to sleep and then died later without ever saying anything else.
My friend was calling out to her husband, her mother and loved ones before falling asleep one last time so yeah, she spoke just before her death....at 101 and 5 months...
