April 1, 2020, Xavier Delarue announced the death of his dad, "brutally" carried away by the Coronavirus while it was staying in a nursing home. The chronicler's companion Tatiana Delarue accompanied his message with a souvenir photo on which we can see him in his father's arms. In legend, the young man of 42 years expressed his deep sorrow: "The Covid-19 removed you from our life suddenly & brutally. We are devastated by your departure … But we will not give up until you are recognized as Victim of this plague. I love you forever Papa . " But that's not all.
Xavier Delarue also expressed his anger against the French government which has not hesitated to tighten the rules of confinement, including vis-à-vis funeral ceremonies. Consequently, the actor and model could not say goodbye to his father as he would have imagined: "Today you were cremated in the horrible and unlivable protocol security standards related to Covid-19. We could neither approach you, nor honor you as you deserved. A terrible feeling of abandonment. This protocol is unbearable to live … "
"Why don't you count in the victims of Covid-19?"
In addition, Xavier Delarue, widely supported by his subscribers in the comments, made it a point of honor to assign the status of "victim" to his father as soon as possible. Deaths in nursing homes are not yet taken into account in the assessments. In a second message, he says he feels "despised" and "insult" by such measures: "No mourning will be done until you find your place in our society, until your life is taken into account, as long as our government does not respect you. It is unacceptable!", he wrote. A few minutes after the publication, his wife, Tatiana Laurens-Delarue, tried to comfort her husband by commenting: "You lived up to the expectations that a dad can expect from his eldest son. With all my love for your dad who was and will also remain mine."
