IIn the Chinese province of Hubei, a severely disabled youth tragically died in the fight against the new corona virus: the father of 17-year-old Yan Cheng was taken to quarantine and had to leave his wheelchair-bound son alone at home.

Because the boy could not speak, walk, or eat on his own, he died after a week, the Hongan District government said.

The father, Yan Xiaowen, was quarantined on January 22. Five days later, he was diagnosed with the novel virus. He desperately published a call for help on the online networks and asked that someone look after his helpless son.

At first, it remained unclear why the adolescent, who suffered from early childhood brain damage, still died on January 29. According to the British newspaperGuardian“Local officials looked at the boy but only gave him food twice over the course of six days. Other Media reportsThe boy’s aunt was with him on January 23 and 24 to take care of him.

After the boy’s death, the local chairman of the Communist Party and the mayor were removed. Anger and outrage broke out in the online networks. “I am so angry and sad,” writes one user. “It’s too disgusting.”
