Nebojsa Petrovic, an actor, poet and musician from Novi Sad, did not die from the consequences of hypothermia on a bench in Novi Sad, as reports initially said. This great man has been living on the streets for the past few months, and his family revealed to Telegraf what really happened.

"I want to tell you that my brother has not been freezing for years, but has been in Novi Sad since this summer. He was seriously ill without even telling anyone. He died of a serious illness, not of freezing, but he did not want to be a burden to anyone. He was a wonderful man. Wonderful," Nebojsa's sister told Telegraf.rs.

Nebojsa's friends are also shocked, because, as they say, Nebojsa was an extremely hard-working man. In addition to numerous theater plays he was in and his music performances, this great man also worked as a construction worker.

"He didn't have to live on the street. Nebojsa was not homeless, he was not someone who does not work and has no money. We didn't even know that he was seriously ill, so we assume that he went away and didn't want to burden anyone. He was like that, selfless, incredible," his friends told our portal.

His sister says that everyone remembers Nebojsa only for good things and that people remember his jokes the most, because there was always a lot of laughter in Nebojsa's company.

"He was in many theater plays, played in some bands and was a very witty character. We all loved him," Nebojsa's sister told us.

The sad side of the story is that there are homeless people in Novi Sad, who fear the coming winter and how they will survive, but Nebojsa was not one of them. However, that does not mean that we should turn our heads away from those who live on the street and who never know whether they will see the next day.

At the end of his life, Nebojsa left us a message about sacrifice and love, and reminded us of those we must not forget in these cold days.
