Romantic couple Matt Thomas, 32, and Kelly Palance, 30, were killed September 2 in their Carmel home. The pair had just finished writing out their pre-engagement joint “bucket list” of things they wanted to accomplish together before either of them died. The couple had entered the kitchen to make lunch when Thomas tripped over a mop bucket Palance had left out after cleaning the kitchen that morning, kicking it to Palance’s path. She too tripped over the bucket, kicking it across the room. Palance fell into Thomas, and together they tumbled down the basement stairs, breaking both their necks.
