Former NSW premier and foreign minister Bob Carr has confirmed his wife of 50 years has died in his arms, describing the heartbreaking moment her eyes closed for the last time. Helena Carr, 77, was declared to be dead after losing consciousness as a result of a brain aneurysm in the Austrian city of Vienna on Thursday night. “Her little heart continues to beat but her brain has haemorrhaged with a massive amount of blood,” Carr said in a statement on Saturday.
“Within 20 minutes she referred to strange back pain, then a headache and nausea. “Our 50-year partnership ended in the hotel bathroom when she sunk into my arms and I broke her fall to the floor. “Her eyes closed for the last time while I begged her not to leave me.” Helena Carr was born in Malaysia and came to Australia to study economics at the University of Sydney. The pair met in Tahiti in early 1971 when Bob Carr was on a stopover on a trip back from the United States.
