Yossi Meir Jan, 57, the father of freed Israeli hostage Almog Meir Jan, 21, died just hours before his son was rescued by Israeli forces Saturday. The cause of death, his family said, was a broken heart after eight months of his son’s captivity.

The Jerusalem Post reported:

The father of Almog Meir Jan, one of the four hostages rescued from Hamas captivity, was found dead in his home on Saturday, according to Israeli media reports on Saturday night.

Though he was ill, family members told Israeli media that they believe he died from grief.

The savage subhuman worms of hamas are responsible for his death.

What is death by grief? Are they saying it was suicide?

Perhaps the father guided his son’s rescue from the “other side”.

No, not suicide. Doctors recognize that Broken Heart Syndrome can kill people.

Dying from a broken heart. Not uncommon. I bet many contracted the disease in the first part of the 20th century. Many among the unemployed suffered from it during the Great Depression.

Have you never heard of a surviving spouse dying within a week or two of the first one to die? I’ve seen it once on my side of the family, and once on my wife’s side. This is a very well-known, tragic, phenomenon.
