(CN) The Indigenous community leader Policarpo Chaj has closed his mouth, but he’s surrounded by friends and family who say they can still hear his voice.
Chaj turned 49 on Jan. 16, 2021, while intubated at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. During a video call, his cousin Ervin Hernandez asked the nurses to come over to hold the phone up to Chaj’s face so they could sing “Happy Birthday” together.
