After that came the decompensation in front of the screen. According to Argentine media, two students asked the teacher for the address so they could send an ambulance, but De Simone only answered “I can’t.”
The moment of the teacher’s swoon was viralized on social networks by one of the students present in the fatal class. However, after a generalized repudiation by the university community, the registry was taken down and the account canceled.
