Italian Priest Sacrifices His Life for Younger Patient

[Daily Mail] An Italian priest died of coronavirus after giving a respirator that his parishioners bought for him to a younger patient, it has been revealed. 

 Giuseppe Berardelli, 72, from Casigno in Italy's hardest-hit Lombardy region, died in a local hospital in recent days after being diagnosed with the virus.

Berardelli had been given a respirator - which are in desperately short supply - by parishioners concerned about his health but decided to give it to a younger patient who he didn't know but was struggling to breathe because of the virus.

Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. RIP

Fake news. You update the story and denounce the perpetrators of the lie.
