Gian Luca Demarco Speaks of Heartbreaking Loss and Father's Final Choice

Gian Luca Demarco has openly shared the painful experience of losing his father eight years ago, revealing that the family's true confrontation with the tragedy began much earlier, in 2007, after a severe car accident.

“

He had an accident in 2007. That accident – practically, we had already lost him then. He was in a coma for a long time, became disabled, was in a wheelchair, and my mother took care of him. We were told then that he would die, and if he didn't die now, he would die of an infection in six months.

We were told then that he would die, and if he didn't die now, he would die of an infection in six months," Demarco recounted during a talk show interview.

He admitted that at the time, he refused to accept the doctors' predictions. "Then I cornered the doctor and said: It's not your business – do everything you have to do to keep him alive, and then God will decide," he said. Despite subsequent surgeries and a long recovery period, Gian Luca's father survived for another eleven years.

During those years, he was able to witness key moments in his children's lives. "In those 11 years after the accident, despite additional surgeries and suffering, he still saw three grandchildren born, both my sister and I got married, he saw us build our lives, have homes... The man left somewhat peacefully, knowing he had done his part," Demarco shared emotionally.

Gian Luca ultimately revealed that the final decision was his father's. "His passing... He himself decided that he no longer wanted to be operated on. Eight years ago, he said: I'm tired, enough. He chose himself. I asked him: Father, do you know what will happen? He answered: I know, but enough. What could I say? It was my father's decision. We just waited. Two weeks later, it happened," he disclosed.
