Eric Schmitt-Matzen, a 300 pound white bearded man received a call from a nurse who stated a very sick boy wanted to see Santa Clause. He had a brief conversation with the boy:

'"They say I'm gonna die,' he told me. "How can I tell when I get to where I'm going?"

"I said, 'Can you do me a big favor?'"

"He said, 'Sure!'"

"When you get there, you tell 'em you're Santa's Number One elf, and I know they'll let you in."

"He said, 'They will?'"

"I said, 'Sure!'"

"He kinda sat up and gave me a big hug and asked one more question: 'Santa, can you help me?'"

"I wrapped my arms around him. Before I could say anything, he died right there. I let him stay, just kept hugging and holding on to him."


Here is the source with audio from Eric describing his last moments with the boy.

Yeah heard about this on the CUS Youtube Channel and I felt so bad for Santa and for the boys family who passed away. Very sad news to hear.

That Santa is a former Army Ranger and one hell of a bad ass!

So tragic, i couldn't imagine what his family is going through this close to Christmas.
