Which chemical elements did Marie and Pierre Curie discover?

It is a shame that they both died from radiation poisoning; however, their research was monumental with their discovery of radium and polonium.

David, Pierre Currie died in a traffic accident. A beer dray ran him over. He was middle aged. Marie died in her sixties, of cancer, but not very young for the day. It is sad when someone dies.

Pierre Curie (born May 15, 1859, Paris, France—died April 19, 1906, Paris) was a French physical chemist, cowinner with his wife Marie Curie of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. He and Marie discovered radium and polonium in their investigation of radioactivity. An exceptional physicist, he was one of the main founders of modern physics. He was run over by a dray in the rue Dauphine in Paris in 1906 and died instantly. Also extracted from Britannica.com

Marie Curie (born November 7, 1867, Warsaw, Congress Kingdom of Poland, Russian Empire—died July 4, 1934, near Sallanches, France) was a Polish-born French physicist, famous for her work on radioactivity and twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With Henri Becquerel and her husband, Pierre Curie, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics. She was the sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and she is the only woman to win the award in two different fields. Extracted from Britannica.com

They paid a high price for their discovery

Player Jellybean - Sorry, but I don't understand your comment. Do you mean that you object to something in David's comment?
