Family’s Pain and Demands

According to El Heraldo de México, the family opened a GoFundMe page to cover funeral expenses.

The case sparked debate about the lack of humanity shown by the restaurant.

Now, his aspirations were cut short by an end that could have been avoided, reported El Heraldo de México and The Mirror.
