Death and state funeral of Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX

## Death of Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX

The Black Ribbon is for those who has passed away

Former Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX died on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, in Los Angeles, California, in the United States of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic after contracting it a month earlier.

The news was announced on the morning of March 26 (western hemisphere) and the evening of March 27 (eastern hemisphere), and the news caused widespread shock and disbelief among the Chawosaurian world. Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker gave a televised eulogy of Jonathan Boleslaus as a Prime Ministerial colleague and a personal friend despite their own fair share of differences.

Chawosauria was already in nonpartisan patriotic solidarity since the 2020 National Emergency Address given by Shang Parker six days earlier, and Boleslaus' death was seen widely as an attack on the Empire of Chawosauria by the coronavirus and Chawosaurians increasingly rallied around Parker in deep grief.

Shang Jong Parker ordered a national period of mourning that lasted from March 26 and ends on April 26, of 2020. The state funeral of Boleslaus will be held on March 29, 2020 to March 31, 2020. Boleslaus will be buried with his father in New York, a U.S. state terribly infected by coronavirus.

## Death

The coronavirus pandemic was originated in China in a food market in Wuhan. The virus spread from China to worldwide throughout February and March of 2020, and it caused a societal and economic disruption of everyday life.

Around the first weeks of March, Boleslaus was living in Los Angeles where the risk of coronavirus was very high. Boleslaus started to show symptoms of difficulty breathing, a dry cough, a fever and then eventual pneumonia. Boleslaus was hospitalized on March 13, 2020, and he was diagnosed with the symptoms of coronavirus. Boleslaus was tested and he tested positive for coronavirus on March 17th. For eight days, Boleslaus' coronavirus was so severe because of his age (70) and his breathing was alarming and concerning. His daughter Jedida contracted coronavirus from her father, resulting in her having to be hospitalized as well.

Boleslaus and his daughter were separated from each other by room, and the two living next-door would knock on the wall as father-daughter communication. On March 24th, Boleslaus' coronavirus was realized to be too severe to treat, and this devastated the Boleslaus family who were looking for a miracle for him. At 7:46 PM, Boleslaus died on March 25th at the age of 70.

Shang Parker announced the news of Boleslaus' death to a press conference.

### **Events**

Prime Minister MacCarthy never gave an eulogy because he still had his impeachment procedure on his mind. Traditionally, Parker the Emperor is the first to give an eulogy was a recently deceased prime minister.

#### **Eulogies**

##### **Shang Jong Parker**

Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker has done an eulogy on Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX. Parker expressed his empathy to Boleslaus' children by telling the broad audience about his own experience in losing his father in a snow leopard hunting trip, his father was ironically hunted and mauled by a snow leopard while attempting to hunt another snow leopard. Parker didn't talked about it too much because of the trauma it gave him as an 8-year-old watching his own father getting mauled by a wild animal, but the Boleslaus children were extremely grateful to that and it resonated with the Chawosaurian public who watched the eulogy. Parker's eulogy made him look like a person who can relate to ordinary Chawosaurians, and increasingly made Parker look far less like a politician and more relatable than he looked when he first took office.

##### **Jezebel Isela Boleslaus**

Potential Prime Minister-designate Jezebel Isela Boleslaus has done a heart-felt eulogy that was widely praised. She told the funeral how grateful she was to have Boleslaus as her father and told her sister Jedida, who's still suffering from coronavirus and unable to attend her father's funeral: "Jedida, you've been my best-friend more than a sister, we were there for each other more than the world. You and me against the world, you give it [coronavirus] hell, sis!". Jezebel received a loud standing ovation for this line.

##### **James Boleslaus**

Speaker James Boleslaus gave a rather emotional speech. James was the oldest surviving son. James tells the audience of the funeral how close their father-son relationship was. James has cried throughout the whole eulogy but stood to say this prayer to his father: *"You were there, you and mom, were there when nobody was there. You worked hard to stay with us, and you taught us all, me, Jezebel, Jedida, and Jonathan, the barriers of morality, and we will always keep them in our minds and our hearts"*.

#### **Shang Parker's group hug with the Boleslaus family**

Shang Parker first approached to Jezebel Briskman to comfort her. Parker told Briskman that while her husband is no longer living, he is still part of her family that she still has. Briskman was touched by this and hugs Parker, and her children joined in to hug both Parker and their mother.

### **Burial Complication**

Boleslaus will be buried in New York. However, New York is the most hit-hard state in the country with coronavirus. Boleslaus' burial is complicated because of this problem because of the risk that Boleslaus' family are in. Boleslaus is to be buried around the New York City Metropolitan Area, likely in Suffolk County with his father.

### **Memorial Service**

After Boleslaus' complicated burial, Parker held a joint session of the 25th Chawopolis Palace once again since the 2020 National Emergency Address to hold a memorial service.

## Aftermath

Chawosaurians have ultimately panicked when it was revealed that Boleslaus died of coronavirus. The coronavirus pandemic started in December 2019, the month when Boleslaus was about to leave office on the 31st, and Boleslaus was in China in March 2019 getting Shang Parker a late-birthday gift, a red panda, which Parker now keeps as a family pet. Chawosaurians reacted to Boleslaus' death as an attack by coronavirus on Chawosauria. This gave Parker an even larger rally.
