During the Day of the Dead commemoration, a father who was cleaning his son’s grave suddenly fainted and died unexpectedly; the emergency services could do nothing.
In the Private Cemetery of Jardín del Rosario, in the Tancol area, in Tampico, Tamaulipas, a man of approximately 60 years of age died of cardiac arrest.
How did it happen?
Relatives of the victim stated that while he was doing cleaning work – weeding, removing dirt from the pottery and placing flowers – the man fainted, so they immediately called the emergency services at 911.
Later, Red Cross paramedics arrived only to confirm the death of the man. For their part, personnel from the Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office gathered preliminary information about what happened and proceeded to transfer the body to the Forensic Medical Service for the legal autopsy.
It must be said that the case moved the inhabitants of the region and the visitors of the cemetery in the face of the dramatic event.
It was 8 o’clock in the morning on November 1, All Saints’ Day, when the sixty-year-old accompanied by other relatives began to feel ill and collapsed.
Acceptance and bond
From the Christian point of view, those who visit their loved ones in the cemeteries do so to continue maintaining and feeling the bond with the deceased person, which is reinforced with prayer.
A death is not overcome, but rather something that is placed, accepted, and focused on the person who has been lost. It is not something that has to be resolved, it is not a life problem, it is a vital experience, which in the vast majority of cases changes the person. It is in itself, a symbolic act with a deep psychological meaning.
When someone dies, on a mental level, one goes through different stages: shock, denial, rage, deep sadness and acceptance. These are phases that are not correlative and that can vary from one another without a fixed pattern, a very personal process, each person goes at his or her own pace, since no two mourning periods are the same.
The celebration of the Day of the Dead serves to remember family members, friends or loved ones who have died. It is very common to visit cemeteries, set up altars, offer prayers, songs and floral offerings that fill the air with mysticism, emotion, spirituality and cosmogony.
