The father of the 22-year-old student who was crushed by a wall is shocked - "He died for a kick"
His father is determined to seek justice for his son, who died when he was crushed by a wall outside a house in Larissa.
The 22-year-old student was tragically killed when, on his way out of a bar after a night out, he found himself in front of part of a wall and a pillar that collapsed while holding up the metal door of an abandoned house.
"It was a crumbling wall and it crushed the boy. That's all the information I have from his friends who were with him. I don't know anything else," the devastated father said, speaking to Alpha.
At the same time, he explained that he cannot have a picture, as he is in Crete and his child was killed in Larissa. "This morning the police called me and told me that something had happened. They didn't tell me anything. I called a friend of his and he told me he was gone," he added.
"I'll go after everything."
In conclusion, he made it clear that "when I calm down, I'll go after everything," adding with intense emotion, "I'll tear the whole world apart, it won't stay like this. The child will not go in vain. No, no... That's the only thing for sure. If it happened as they say, it won't stay that way. I will not leave it, I will live only for it."
Recall that the boy was crushed by a wall that collapsed from an old building in the city center. The tragic incident occurred at the junction of Ikonomou (from Ikonomou) and Asclepius streets, where the fire brigade, police and ambulance of the ambulance service were rushed.
The last moments
The last moments of the 22-year-old student who died yesterday morning in the center of Larissa were described by eyewitnesses.
"I came out and he died in my arms, he had a pulse five minutes before the ambulance came," an eyewitness told Alpha. "The left part of the door came off, the door support that is, and from what I understand there must have been instantaneous death from the cornice of the left entrance post," said Mr. Vangelis Stavrianou who found the young man bleeding.
"He lost his life for a kick in the door"
At the same time, speaking to Mega, his aunt was shocked.
"Unfair. For a kick in the door to lose his life. Five minutes only had a pulse. And a man who helped, they said that for five minutes only had a pulse. He took it in the head, it was ironclad, it was heavy. Very nice boy, very nice, very kind, very quiet with good parents, they all help everywhere, wherever they find a hungry person they are there. They have done so much good and he found them an evil that doesn't exist, there is no worse," he said, adding. A good student, a good kid, an athlete. A champion, how many medals, how many things, lost so unfairly. He has a lot of medals and gold medal and silver medal and everything, he has a lot. He was a good cyclist. He was the pride of the family, their only child. We lost a little child," he added.
Scenes of ancient tragedy unfolded at the scene, while a neighbour heard the voices of his friends and came down to help. I went over there, saw the lad downstairs and realised there was no way he was going to live. I started taking his pulse, he had a little pulse. I basically lied to the girl that: "Yes, wait for the ambulance to come, don't be nervous", to calm her down. And after five minutes she passed out, took two deep breaths and left. We're talking about a block of bricks smashed into the kid's head, his head was pulverized," he described, adding:
"The little kid was so unlucky, he took a kick at a door, he fell and this wall fell on top of him. The question is why that wall has been there for so long. What infuriates us all and the neighbors and personally makes me feel guilty is because I didn't knock it down myself. With the earthquake half of it had fallen down and by sheer luck it didn't go through there... Next door are schools, kindergartens, no mother and child would have gone through there, it would have made the pram with the child a copper mine."
