Stephen Hawking's family give his ventilator to UK hospital
Posted by Reuters | Apr 22, 2020
LONDON (Reuters) – The family of acclaimed physicist Stephen Hawking has donated his ventilator to a hospital that had treated him in Cambridge, the English university city where he lived and worked, to help care for COVID-19 patients.
The scientist died in March 2018 at age 76 after a lifetime spent probing the origins of the universe. He was diagnosed with a rare early-onset form of motor neurone disease at the age of 21.
“Professor Stephen Hawking’s family has donated his ventilator to Royal Papworth Hospital as we care for increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients,” the hospital said on Wednesday.
His daughter Lucy Hawking described the care her father had received there as “brilliant, dedicated and compassionate”, it said.
