Thumba and Sandra Naidoo have been robbed of the life of their son by the deadly coronavirus that is wreaking havoc around the world. The couple lost their son while waiting for help at a hospital that was filled to capacity.
The Durban couple recently relived the horrible evening after doing an interview about the loss of their son Dineshren Naidoo, a 39-year-old events planner and community worker from Brookdale, Phoenix.
According to his dad Thumba, Dineshren died in his arms on New Year's Day while the two of them were on their way to a bathroom at a hospital. They had been asked to wait their turn to receive help as the hospital was already crowded with people being treated for Covid-19 symptoms.

"Dineshren needed to go to the toilet and my husband took him back into the hospital. I think his oxygen levels dropped again and he died at the toilet door.
"My husband held him and told him to 'hold on' and that his turn for treatment would be next. But it was too late. I knew my baby was gone," said his mom Sandra in an IOL article.
His parents have described Dineshren as a fit and healthy young man who always took pride in his health and fitness regimes. They said that his death came as a shock to the family as he had no underlying conditions.
