The young Cuban Adrián García (Adrián Chile García), who had been in a critical condition in a Florida hospital since being struck by lightning on August 31 at a beach in Naples, passed away this Saturday.
The doctors fought to save his life, but the electric shock had caused severe brain damage, and he remained connected to a machine with artificial ventilation, waiting for a miracle that could aid in his recovery.
On the morning of September 14, Adrián's family, accompanied by close friends, went to the hospital where the young man was admitted and witnessed with sorrow the end of his difficult battle for life.
During the emotional moment, his loved ones gathered in the hospital hallway to bid him farewell, while the young man's body was covered with an American flag, symbolizing his dream of living in freedom in the United States.
The tragedy has left a deep shock in the Cuban community, which described him as a young man full of dreams and vitality.
The lightning struck Adrián one day when he was enjoying the sea with his family in Naples. They entered the water after the rain had passed, the sky looked clear, and there were no thunder sounds.
They were chatting calmly in the water when suddenly a lightning bolt struck him and two other family members. The other people recovered quickly, but Adrián suffered irreparable damage.
His father is a resident in Cuba and applied for a humanitarian visa to be with his son during these sad days. It has not been confirmed whether he could arrive in Miami in time to say goodbye and hug him for the last time.
The incident has generated a great mobilization of support and solidarity within the Cuban community in Florida, which has expressed its sorrow for the loss of a healthy young man with a promising future.
