Suzanne Hoylaerts, 90, from Lubbeek in Belgium, died of Covid-19, after telling doctors to save the ventilators for younger patients.
Hoylaerts reportedly fell ill two weeks ago and died of Covid-19 on March 21.
Her daughter, Judith, took her to the doctor when she began losing her appetite and feeling short of breath.
