This undated photo provided by Phillip Laute in March 2021 shows his brother, Marc Lerario. Before the coronavirus pandemic, Lerario seemed to be turning a corner, despite his record of a dozen assault charges _ including domestic violence incidents against Ashley Belson. He quit smoking and drinking, worked out, and watched movies or played video games with the family, his son, Brian Belson said. But in April 2020, Marc's grandmother died of COVID-19 at a nursing home outside Philadelphia. He was hours away and never got to say goodbye, and he spiraled into depression. (Phillip Laute via AP)
