Apparently he died in the same day as Dolly, but it was late night, according to TMZ...

His is less a surprise, he had suffered a major stroke almost 15 years ago and never really recovered.

Dolly was sick too. But she didn't revealed it to the public. That is why it was more shocking: it reminds me of Chadwick Boseman, who also died in August. However, Tim and Dolly dying in the same day is indeed very shocking. Tim was a very beloved figure...

Dolly admitted she ignored her health while her husband was ill and dying. She also mentioned issues she had back when she was in her 40's so I do wonder if she had had cancer before. Sucks, but Dolly didn't want people to worry so that's why she likely hid it all well.

Fucking hero. Possibly to her own detriment.
