Xu WeiLun Sheds Tears Before she Passes Away, Sunday January 28, 2007 Taiwan
Weilun passed away approxmiately 2 days after she was admitted into the hospital.
She was in a stage 3 coma, which is the most severe stage. Intially her friends and parents though she would still have a chance because everytime one of Weilun's friends called her name, Weilun's blood pressure would increase and beads of tears formed in her eyes.
Weilun was not reacting to any physical stimuli, but whenever her friends and parents called out "lun lun", tears formed and were seen trickling down her cheeks. Her parents and friends took turns talking to her, trying to keep her alive.
However, unfortunately she was not able to pull through. As she was dying her mom and family members called "Lun Lun" very loudly in hopes to get her back. However, her only response were tears that streamed down her face. She passed away at 7:37.
