The father of Ontario’s youngest COVID-19 victim is speaking out about hurtful and “absurd rumours” spreading online that his teenage son’s death was the result of suicide or a drug overdose, rather than the virus that’s killed over 5,000 Ontarians.
“They were not there at the time of death and they were not there to watch him struggle with COVID-19, let us mourn in peace,” Ahmad Dabeh said, addressing the social media rumours through a translator.
