A 14-year-old teenager who was in charge of caring for his coronavirus-sick mother died of electrocution at his home in a small community in Morelos, Mexico.

According to Mexican media, the young man who was identified only as Juan Eduardo was at his house doing cleaning work late last week when the tragic accident occurred in the Ecatepec community.

According to the testimony of his mother identified as Adriana, her son was sweeping with a broom to remove the water that had entered his house as a result of a heavy rain when he accidentally turned on the water pump, causing the short circuit, the newspaper El Universal reported..

Adriana, who is a single mother and is an occupation taxi driver, received the diagnosis of COVID-19 on March 14. She was admitted to the hospital, but was already in the process of recovery, a Mexican newspaper reported.

My son said to me: 'I will stay with you.' I will not forget that he said: 'No, Mommy, with that disease, if you die, what am I going to do? No, Mommy, I'm dying with you. We die together, '”her mother is heard saying in a video on the news channel Excélsior TV.

The newspaper El Debate revealed that for more than 20 days, the teenager took care of his mother despite the fact that he himself was at risk of getting it. In addition to taking care of his brothers: a 15-year-old girl and 12-year-old twins.
