Chrastina called his friends and daughter before the holidays, complaining that he had fallen in the subway and broken his arm and pelvis. After the operation, he developed pneumonia and died on December 28. It was a shock. Zuzana, who lives in America, where her father was for years after her stay in Australia, could not arrive. The covid measures did not allow her to go to the funeral, due to limited flights she was unable to buy a ticket to the Czech Republic. In the first place, the widow Eva Chrastinová Dudková sat down. The former TV announcer is after a bypass operation and unfortunately has severe consequences. He walks badly, mostly using a wheelchair. Her daughter and granddaughter accompanied her to the funeral and provided her with support.
