A bus driver in France has died in the hospital on Friday after being declared brain-dead following a severe beating by several passengers who refused to wear face masks and attacked him instead.
Philippe Monguillot, 59, a husband and father of three children, was left brain-dead in the southwestern town of Bayonne on July 5 following an attack what officials called “barbaric,” prompted by the bus driver asking four passengers to wear a face mask while attempting to check a person’s bus ticket.
