Viral: British teenager girl hugs dying boyfriend as his life support is turned off
A British teenage girl hugging her boyfriend goodbye before his life support was turned off has gone viral on the Internet recently, Bernama quoted Xinhua as reporting.
Stephanie Ray, a 15-year-old girl from the town of Dudley in England, had to bid farewell to her 16-year-old boyfriend Blake Ward who was swept out to sea last week.
He was one of the three teenagers rescued last Tuesday from the waters in Tywyn, Gwynedd in northwest Wales after being swept out by currents during a family trip.
He was flown to a hospital in Liverpool and placed on life support. He died five days later. As a final goodbye, she climbed onto his hospital bed and lay down next to him as he passed away.
She shared the heartbreaking photo on Facebook. "Today has been the hardest day for me and it will be a day I will never be able to forget," Stephanie wrote on Facebook alongside the photo.
She continued, "Blake was someone special to me and we had something special and we will always have that. I will never forget you Blake. Fly high my baby boy and I'm gonna make you proud. Love you and I always will."
