A devastated husband has confirmed his wife has died after more than three decades spent in a coma following a horrific Christmas Eve car crash in 1991.
Miriam Visintin, from Riese, Veneto, died on 10 May at the San Bassiano hospital where she had been moved two months ago due to a buildup of fluid in her lungs.
She had been in a coma since crashing her Fiat Panda in Casoni di Mussolente, Veneto, on Christmas Eve 1991, suffering an inoperable brain injury as a result.
Her husband of 33 years, Angelo Farina, said after Miriam died of cardiac arrest: 'She finally had peace for her injustice... Finally she's up there in peace and in paradise.'
He continued: 'We had only been married a year and a half when tragedy struck. We were so young and had so many projects... fate has been cruel to her. She didn't deserve all of this.'
