After spending the last nine years taking back his life after being exonerated of murder and released from prison, Damon Thibodeaux has died of complications from Covid-19.
"The nurse that took care of him said he was positive and very friendly. She was honored to take care of him. She said most people are hateful but Damon was not," David Thibodeaux, Damon's brother, told CNN."That's my brother. He is a very loving person."Damon, 47, was wrongly convicted in Louisiana in 1997 and had been working as an Austin, Texas-based commercial truck driver since his prison release in 2012. He had rebuilt his life, according to his brother.
The Tuesday before his death, he told David that if his oxygen reached 95 or better, the medical staff said they could take off the oxygen tube and see how he did on his own. On September 2, Damon called David and was hopeful for his recovery."He said, 'Bro, I'm ready to get out of here and come home,'" David said. David told him he loved him, and he made plans to drive from Texas to pick Damon up. Damon Thibodeaux walks out of prison.

Led by the nose: Meet the UAE's COVID-19 sniffer dogsOne year after completing one of the first studies into canine detection of COVID-19, the United Arab Emirates now has 38 sniffer dogs working at its airports that can identify infected persons at a 98.2-percent success rate. Dubai Police trained the cohort, which includes German Shepherds, Labradors, Cocker Spaniels and Border Collies, to recognise the scent of COVID-19 using samples of sweat from people with confirmed infections, collected by holding a swab in an armpit for a few minutes. 'A very small amount of that is then put into a jar - it has the scent of the patient - then we put the sample out for the dog to sniff ... When he gives us a sign, we give him a treat,' said First Lieutenant Nasser al-Falasi of Dubai Police, supervisor of the programme at the K9 training centre in Dubai's Awir region.
