They say that couples who have been married a very long time tend to die within a few days of each other, and sadly that seems to be exactly what has happened to Tim Robbins‘ parents, Gil and Mary. Gil died on the 5th of April after a long battle with prostate cancer, and just twelve days later Mary also passed away, dying of a heart arrhythmia.
