Christian Cabrera recently passed away from Covid-19 at the age of 40. He died two days after texting his brother saying he regretted not getting vaccinated.
The comedian succumbed to the virus at a California hospital on January 22 after the disease changed to pneumonia. He is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old son.
Prior to his death, he shared about his battle with Covid-19 on social media on January 13 and posted a selfie lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on his face. The tweet read:
“Been here almost a week in ICU now not breathing on my own with Covid pneumonia infection on both lungs. This has to be the worst pain I ever had in my life! I can hear all ya prayers on my sleep! Thank you and hope to see ya all soon!”
Christian did not mention anything about his vaccination status in the post, although his brother Jino said that he was skeptical of the science behind the vaccines and decided not to get vaccinated.
Jino has now opened a GoFundMe page to raise money for Cabrera’s young widow and their son, Noel.
