The elderly lady was reportedly in the car alone when she displayed severe symptoms indicative of the coronavirus. She had trouble breathing in the morning and was awaiting medical attention in the car.

Her grandson, apparently in his 30s, noticed it happening and rushed back to the vehicle.

Seeing her unconscious at that point, the man administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in an attempt to revive his grandmother, disregarding the risk of contracting the virus himself, reported La Nacion.

But it was too late, as her vital signs were already gone by then.

Another relative soon arrived and tried getting a response from the elderly lady, but to no avail.

Touching display of love for one’s family

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family of the deceased woman. May she rest in peace.

Her grandson’s decision of throwing caution to the wind might not be the most advisable given how infectious the coronavirus is, but is a touching display of how we’re willing to just about do anything to save our loved ones’ lives.
