Hope vs. Dispair: Italy's Romeo and Juliet

From the BBC comes this headline: Italy's real 'Romeo and Juliet'.

In Padua, not far from "fair Verona", where the Shakespeare play is set, Ettore had kept a daily vigil at his wife's bed side in the hospital. He committed suicide on Wednesday and 12 hours later, Rossana woke from her coma and asked for him.

Ettore's hope had run out too early.

While Ettore's visits had been so regular, I wonder if there can be some research to determine if Rossana woke because she did not hear him keep his routine visit?

What do you think?
