A young couple, who were so much in love, passed away in a tragic accident

The reason for the couple's death was tragic, and it happened due to a problem with the vehicle's exhaust, which cannot be seen or smelled. The incident was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, a 'tragic death', and as per Christy, Luke was seen resting his head on Mary's shoulder, as if she was comforting him. An emotional Christy then recalled how the duo's love story began.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Christy revealed that Luke first saw her while he was hanging out with a few friends, and described her as one of the most beautiful girls that he saw in the university.
