He is the youngest person to have died so far in Israel from the coronavirus. The deceased, 26, was an outstanding soldier and recently converted. He even began teaching Torah lessons. Assulin, who was hospitalized over a month ago, was hospitalized in serious condition due to a rare complication in the heart muscle. He was put to sleep and ventilated, and during the hospitalization he underwent several resuscitations. He was, among other things, on an ECMO device that replaces the function of the heart and lungs. According to a report in Israel Hayom, the deceased arrived at Tel Hashomer Hospital with severe abdominal pain and fever, and when he was tested for coronavirus, he was found to be positive. In addition to coronavirus, he suffered from a multi-system inflammatory disease, which is accompanied by damage to the heart muscle and was apparently the first case reported in the world in an adult. This is a rare complication documented in children in the US, and in Israel, several cases of Haredi children who contracted coronavirus and suffered from the rare infection have also been reported, including 11-year-old Elad and 16-year-old Safed who were hospitalized at Rambam. The mayor of Kfar Saba, Rafi Sa'ar, eulogized him: "We were informed with great sorrow and dark grief of the passing of Oshri Assulin, a son of our city, whose life was cut short and he was only 26 years old when he died. Dear Oshri, a smiling young man full of life and joy, passed away after contracting the coronavirus several weeks ago and after a difficult battle with the disease. "From here, in my name and on behalf of all the city's residents, I send a warm hug and my sincere condolences to all the members of the dear family. Comfort from heaven. May his memory be blessed.".\r\n\r\n
