THE Dimitris Kampanaros, founder of the nursing home “New Thalpi” in Agios Stefanos, decided yesterday morning to end his life with a carbine, inside your own home!
Those who knew him They are talking about a “strong” man, which bent under the pressure of the coronavirus. He was her sworn “enemy”. He had gambled on himself not to let the virus enter his structure. A unit that he created in the name of his “muse”, his grandmother, Artemis.
monday nightA few days after the appearance of the cases in “Nea Thalpi”, in two employees and an elderly woman, Dimitris Kampanaros decided to carry out a “quick test” again for everyone. It goes through the same process once more. A process that followed almost once a week respectfully the more than 100 elderly people who have lived moments of true affection and love for many years, both for him and for his employees. When the specialized personnel informed him that it was positive, he was “paralyzed”.
“Dimitris could not accept the pressure of the media. What would they say about him? That is, you have an elderly care unit and contracted a coronavirus. That he took no action. The reality was completely different. Not only did she apply all the measurements provided by EODY, but she took care of getting tested almost every week.. Own initiative. “Something that many owners of nursing homes do not do,” confessed a man close to him to “protothema.gr”.
the On Wednesday morning, EODY staff were to go to “Nea Thalpi” to perform new repeated tests. I was positive and broke. He wrote his last goodbye on a piece of paper in his notebook in his unit as he made the decision to end his life. “I got tired. And I was probably not a good captain. I loved my job. I was wrong, I caught a coronavirus after all this …” says the suicide note in the note, while adding “Title: through the glass (and to no avail) they’ll call me weak. Okay. I was. I’ll live with it. “
«My mother and my sister, don’t let me cry for over a year. I want to calm down wherever I go, if I go somewhere ”, he pointed out in another part of his note. On page 3 it says “If I live with hope (without being able to die) hey!” I don’t have a plant to water myself. And finally he mentions about the gun “for possession of the gun, it was my dad’s. Maybe I can find it. “Unless I go to hell …”
Then he took the carbine of his father and committed suicide.
