The shocking farewell of his colleagues at the morgue
On Friday morning, Professor Giorgos Lyrakos, who works as a psychologist at the General State Hospital of Nice where the 31-year-old policeman fought his last battle, revealed the shocking farewell of his colleagues at the morgue, a short time after his death was announced.
As Mr. Lyrakos told OREN, "all the children entered the morgue, one by one they hugged him and then made a circle and sang the national anthem. For us it was the most shocking moment, it was a lament, a "live" in life and an "immortal" for the lad".
"I have never seen such brotherhood and friendship. I saw the pain, the sadness and it was shocking especially their farewell. When a person leaves in such circumstances it is very difficult, especially for the parents, because he left in a way that is not determined by nature" added Mr. Lyrakis.
According to him, "his colleagues had become children for George's parents. Anyone who didn't have a shift from his platoon was in the hospital."

"I hope for all of us to be as brave as George was brave in the great battle he fought all these days. All our actions must now honor our colleague and pay the necessary respect to his memory. We are sure that George is now watching over us from where he is and it is certain because we are members of his family.
