Love and Death and George Jones

Love and death.   You can die so many ways: in war, driving, flying, accident, cancer, old age, etc.  George Jones sings a haunting song called He Stopped Loving Her Today.  His tone is haunting and pained.  It's a song of unrequited love.  He loves her.  She no longer loves him.  He keeps on loving her through the years.  She moves on.  Finally after years he smiles.  But he's dead and smiling in his coffing. So in death he finally stops loving her:  "This time he's over her for good."  Love can hurt and can be painful.  Can it lead to death?
