Later, the Publication reported “I don’t want to go to prison, but I’ll face whatever I need to. My actions aren’t about to sacrifice or arrest for the sake of it.

Raphaël Coleman Family

How old was Raphaël Coleman? He was born on September 30, 1994, and from London, England, UK and he is 25 years old as of 2019. According to the source he died after collapsing on a run and his stepfather said He had “no prior health problems.”

His stepfather Carsten Jensen wrote a lengthy post he wrote “Surely there is nothing that makes one experience death as unjust and meaningless as when a young person dies. It is life itself that is sabotaged. It just so happened to my wife, Liz, whose youngest son, Raph at just 25, passed away last Thursday. He collapsed without any prior health problems in the middle of a jogging trip and could not be revived. I got to know Raph when he was six years old and we were so close.”

“Dear friends, readers, and followers. I have never wanted to use this Facebook page for private purposes. This is where I try to orient myself in a chaotic world, analyze and explain my attitudes. When I choose to tell you about Raph’s death anyway, it’s not just because the loss of him will affect me forever. It is also because I see in him the hope that a new youth in the midst of the climate crisis has kindled in us.”

Then, he wrote “Who was Raph? As a child, he was old-fashioned, extremely literate, and loved teaching the adults with his always astounding knowledge. He was a child actor, starring in the popular British comedy Nanny McPhee, where he played with great talent himself, a little red-haired boy who was always mixing explosive chemical ingredients. He had multiple roles, was awarded awards and could have chosen a career as an actor. But he wanted to be a scientist, not as a figure in Nanny McPhee to blow something up in the air, but to save the planet.”

“I have posted a link in memory of him. Not one of his speakers at London’s seats, but a self-recorded dance video on the outskirts of Bangkok in a closed mall that the jungle is about to conquer. The video is a tribute to the joy of life, the sheer lustful presence, and it shows how Raph, in everything he did, made every effort to do his best and generously give of his own kingdom itself.”
