Painter Daniel Lana Christ, 44 years old, was working on Saturday afternoon (7/10), when he began to feel stitches in his chest and was taken to the nearest service station, in Viana, in the metropolitan region of Vitória, Espírito Santo , but he didn’t resist. His father, Guido Christ, aged 80, upon hearing the news also had a heart attack and died just 4 hours later.
In an interview with the g1 portal, Vinícius Lana Pedroni, nephew of the family, told the details of what happened:
“On Saturday, around 5:30 pm, Daniel fell ill. He is a painter and works with custom furniture and went to pick up a piece to put in the car and take to a client and felt bad. The father himself took his son to the emergency room and soon after they gave him the news that his son had died”, said Vinícius.
Vinícius also said that he went to the emergency room to take Daniel’s wife, and found Guido sitting in a state of shock.
“He was very upset about his son’s death. When I arrived I asked what happened and he said that Daniel died, in a surreal tranquility. I didn’t understand anything. And then there was a rush, everyone was scared”, reported the nephew.
The retiree returned home to tell his wife about his son’s death, but after 2 hours, Guido began to feel sick. The couple’s daughter took the elderly man, who was already very ill, to Hospital São Francisco, in Campo Grande. The man was treated and sedated by doctors, but shortly afterwards, his condition worsened, and around 9:30 pm, Guido also passed away.
The two were laid to rest on Sunday (8/10), in the parish where Guido was active for almost 40 years. According to family members, father and son never had heart problems.
