Coronavirus: Italian Priest dies after giving his ventilator to save a younger patient

Don Giuseppe Berardelli, a priest in Casnigo, Italy, died last week after being infected with COVID-19.

The story of Berardelli’s death was widely shared after Italian media site Araberara reported that parishioners donated a ventilator to Berardelli, but he declined to use the breathing apparatus and instead gave it to a younger patient at the same hospital.

Fr. Giuseppe Berardelli, a 72-year-old priest who gave a respirator (that his parishioners had purchased for him), to a younger patient (whom he did not know), has died from #coronavirus.
