Ethan Hernandez was killed in East Austin when, police said, Ethan was legally crossing the street with his family when he was fatally hit by a truck.

“The light turned red, and the walking signal turned for us to cross. Then my kid ran across, the pickup didn’t yield and hit my kid and dragged him underneath,” explains Carlos Hernandez, Ethan’s father.

The toddler was taken to Dell Children’s Medical Center and pronounced dead less than an hour after the incident, police said. His body was taken to Affordable Burial and Cremation Service.

Robert Falcon, who owns Affordable Burial and Cremation Service, has buried many people and helped families through this most difficult day of saying goodbye to a loved one. Although he’s seen more than his fair share of tragedy, this 3-year-old’s death hit him particularly hard, especially when he saw the little boy’s photo that was to go on display at his service.

Falcon had just spent the last several hours consoling the child’s family and preparing the little boy for burial when he was overcome with emotion and felt something needed to be done about it.

Knowing that Ethan’s killer was still at large as he sat with the boy’s mourning mom who would never get her toddler back, Falcon turned to social media with a strong message for the person who took this kid’s life.

“We shouldn’t have had to been there, we shouldn’t have had to been in a church, there shouldn’t have had to been a 3-year-old boy laying in a casket, there shouldn’t have to have been a mom and dad lamenting and bargaining with God and in pain,” Falcon said in part on Facebook, of this boy’s senseless death because of another person’s actions.

“I spent most of the night Monday and Tuesday morning getting this child ready for his mother and father to see him in a casket because of you. I want you to see these pictures, and I want you to know how much it pains me to know that you would run over a child and not stop to render aid,” Falcon wrote.

Ethan’s family gave permission for Falcon to post pictures of their son’s casket with the public message to his murderer. “I want that person to see the reality of what they created, it was not a pretty situation, and it wasn’t intended to be pretty at all,” Falcon said.

Falcon says he decided to offer a $2,500 reward after a week went by and no one was arrested.

“This is about a family who lost a son and it’s about finding that person who did this. You know who you are and you know what you did and all I’m asking you do is please come forward and give this family some closure,” he said.

Falcon’s friend then decided to offer an additional $2,500. They say they just want justice.

The search for the driver attracted considerable attention, especially after Robert Falcon personally organized the $5,000 reward for information on the truck’s driver.

After asking for the public’s help in finding the driver, police received an anonymous tip that someone in Pflugerville had spotted a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup like the one that hit Ethan. That tip led them to the truck’s owner and eventually to a man named Escalante-Vasquez.

The tipster provided police with a license plate number that returned to a truck matching the suspect truck description.

Detectives contacted the registered owner of the truck, who took police to its location in the 1100 block of Walnut Canyon in Pflugerville. Police confirmed it was the same truck involved in the crash that killed Ethan.

The owner of the truck told police Ramiro Escalante-Vasquez, 41, was driving the truck the day of the crash. Police arrested the man at his apartment complex, where Escalante-Vasquez confessed to driving the truck that killed the three year old and leaving the scene of the crash.

The man was charged with fail to stop and render aid, a second degree felony. His bond has been set at $100,000.

If it wasn’t for the remarkable actions of Robert Falcon, this crime may have never been solved. He went above and beyond his call of duties and helped bring a grieving family some much needed closure.

Surgeons were left stunned and ‘screamed in disbelief by what they found in drunk man’s stomach’! –

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

“And she really was that—always expressing gratefulness and love for God and other people. She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step. I’ve never met a more joyful child who loved God with all her heart.”

Sadie’s father, Tracy Andrews, said that he’s happy, appreciative and grateful for the three years that he along with their family got with spend with their precious Sadie, and reflected on the many lessons his daughter was able to teach him about life and love.

“She taught me about being happy and loving life and loving people,” Tracy said. “At 3 years old, there’s no preconceived notions. To her, everybody was good. She didn’t see the bad. She just loved people and it didn’t matter what they did.”

“As the owner of the Auburn Bruster’s, our deepest condolences go to the family of the child who tragically died Saturday. They are acquaintances of ours and have been regular customers. We are truly heartbroken that this happened. Our thoughts also are with our young crewmember who tried to revive the child. Like all of us, he is quite shaken. The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.

Eventually, Melanie broke down and confessed. She admitted that she had shot her husband. She explained that she had been unhappy in their marriage and wanted to end it but felt she couldn’t afford a divorce. In a moment of desperation, she made the tragic choice to kill him instead.
