Older couple in Serbia prepare graves, say they know when they will die based on temporary measurements

On their memorial tablet, which his wife Grana and he personally built during their lifetime, they also wrote the exact year of death, guided by an unusual estimate, using the genetic predisposition of Branmiir's ancestors.

All my ancestors have lived from 83 to 88 years, based on that I must live another four years. I didn't force my wife, I asked her whether she wanted to or not, given that we've been married more than half a century, even though she's six years younger, according to my estimate she'll be a widow for three years. And for my count not to be wrong, here's a clear example, my brother died at 84 years of age, just days before his birthday,” said Branimir Reliić to Serbian media.

He says he is not afraid of death, and that it is something that must happen, it is natural for humans to be born and die.
