Vincent Fusco died a day following his mother Grace and brother Carmine's deaths, and five days after his sister Rita's passing
Members of the Fusco family initially began falling ill in the days following a big family dinner on March 3. Rita — a married mom of three who taught religious classes at the family’s longtime Roman Catholic church — had shortness of breath and her oxygen level was low. Meanwhile, Vincent — a harness racer — thought he had the flu and was admitted to the hospital on Monday, March 9.
That same day, March 10, the family learned that John Brennan — a horse trainer and close business associate of Carmine and Vincent — had died of the coronavirus in another New Jersey hospital, according Fusco Betlow. Brennan is the state’s first coronavirus death.It’s a mystery why the disease has ravaged this family, since they believe “no one had an underlying medical condition,” Paradiso Fodera previously told PEOPLE.
“They need for this test to get done and get processed, so we know who has it, so we can go together and mourn together in my mother’s house,” Fusco Betlow, who lives in Indiana, told PEOPLE.
