"They say you can die of a broken heart and I believe it," Flutie wrote in a Facebook post. "I would like to honor my parents for all that they did throughout my and my brothers’ and sister’s lives."
Flutie said that his father first died Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack. Then, less than one hour later, his mother also had a sudden heart attack and died, according to the NBC Sports commentator and former Boston College quarterback.

"The most important part of their 56 years of marriage was providing opportunities to their children," Flutie said. "They were incredible parents and Grandparents and my family and I will miss them both."
Tweet: It is with a heavy heart that I am making this statement. This morning my family experienced the tragic loss of my father, Dick and mother, Joan. My Dad had been ill and died of a heart attack in the hospital and my Mom, less than an hour later had a sudden heart attack and passed away. They say you can die of a broken heart and I believe it. I would like to honor my parents for all that they did throughout my and my brothers’ and sister’s lives.
