Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 52-year-old Asian male that occurred in a hospital.

The coroner’s office identified the man as Greg Prodigalidad.

RIP GREG MELCHOR PRODIGALIDAD (July 12, 1971 – April 19, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday.

“I heard a tree crack, and then I turned around, and I saw little kids running, then I saw the tree fall on top of the little kids, maybe about five or seven of them. I ran over there with a bunch of parents and we just started going through the tree and the bushes and we started pulling them out,” witness Greg Prodigalidad said.

He helped rescue some of the children who were trapped underneath the tree and says he couldn’t help but think of his own two children.
