COVID-19 hits once more, as the number of deaths recorded keeps pilling up. However, this time around it the mother of NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns, Jacqueline Towns, who recently died from the COVID-19.
Karl-Anthony Towns had earlier revealed last month that his mother, Jacqueline, had tested positive to COVID-19. This led to his mother being placed in a medically induced coma, owing to complications that arose from the virus. Karl-Anthony Towns’ mother finally succumbed to the virus and gave up the ghost on Monday.
In a statement released by Karl-Anthony Towns’ team, The Minnesota Timberwolves, on the death of his mother, it read thus, “The Towns family is heartbroken by the untimely passing of Jacqueline Towns, due to complications as a result of COVID-19. Jackie, as she was affectionately known among family and friends, has been battling the virus for more than a month when she succumbed on April 13th.”
The Minnesota Timberwolves, in their statement, extended the greetings and gratitude from the Towns family to everybody that has shown support and love to them during these hard times. The Towns family also, through the statement, extended their gratitude to “the medical warriors at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and JFK Medical Center, who fought for Jackie day in and day out, and helped Karl Sr. recover from the same virus that took Jackie’s life.”
