18-year-old Renard Matthews, a 18-year-old boy from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, was robbed and unfortunately shot and killed when he went out to walk his dog in June. Matthews' mother held a special memorial service for him on the 8th: Matthews "sitted" in a comfortable seat, "wearing" the most admired American professional basketball star Kyrie Irving jersey, "holding" the game console controller, "watching" his favorite basketball game during his lifetime. There were many snacks around him, which looked no different from ordinary people. After the release of the related video, it caused discussion among netizens.
According to foreign media reports, Matthews' family arranged "Extreme embalming" technology for him; this technology allows the deceased to pose in different postures and movements, allowing them to say goodbye to the things they loved most during their lifetime. Although some netizens were disgusted by this and believed that the move was very disrespectful to the deceased, Matthews' mother said she knew her son would agree to say goodbye.
In the accompaniment of light jazz, Matthews was buried in peace on the 10th, and many relatives and friends saw him off all the way and accompanied him through the last journey of his life.
