PLYMOUTH — They were storybook immigrants, coming to America to start a new life, but not forgetting family back home.

Nepalese natives Hishi Nagarkoti, 27, and Sunil Gurung, 25, died about 10 p.m. Thursday at Boston Medical Center with family members at their sides.

The two were hospitalized in comas after their car plunged into Plymouth Harbor a week ago.

Police were investigating the incident as a possible murder-suicide, but family members said the accident was a driving lesson that turned tragic.

Nagarkoti lived with Plympton resident Pat Gill for three years before moving to a Plymouth apartment to be closer to work.

Nagarkoti's sister and brother-in-law currently live with Gill and work in Plymouth.

Gurung was the cousin of Nagarkoti's roommate. The two met two years ago and were planning to marry, Gill said.
