A 9-year-old Indian-origin boy battling cancer has died days after more than 100 police officers, firefighters, and EMTs held a surprise parade for him in New jersey, US.
After Jersey City Police Officer Adrien Murrell got to know about fourth grader Parth Patel’s battle with cancer, and having lost her brother to a terminal illness, she wanted to do something special for him.
So one day Arien surprised the 9-year-old with superhero-themed parade from his house to school. Wearing a custom-made Jersey City Police Officer uniform, Parth was carried from his home and placed in a Batmobile where he was driven by his favorite superhero.
His sister, Hileri, and his parents walked beside him as Parth led a parade filled with Jersey City’s finest.
