Summary
Bar Bechor Asraf was found dead Saturday at the grave of childhood friend Liron Barda, three days after relatives said he was joyful at his brother Maor's wedding.
Liron Barda, murdered in the Oct. 7 Nova festival attack after staying to give first aid, was described by the family as Asraf's inseparable best friend whose death left him deeply traumatized.
Two years and nine months after the massacre, his mother said Asraf still cried over Liron, visited her grave almost daily and hid distress even as he organized aid for soldiers and needy families in her memory.
His family says friends of Oct. 7 victims also need recognition and support, arguing that people who seem outwardly happy—especially men—may still be carrying untreated grief.
