New Delhi: 87-year-old Judge Frank Caprio—renowned for his sensitivity and compassion in the courtroom broke down in a recent heartbreaking video. He broke the news of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis in a social media post. His loved ones and fans were taken aback to hear the devastating news.

While he undergoes treatment, he has requested his supporters to keep him in their prayers. He said, "One thing that people ask me is, 'What can I do for you?' First of all, I can't thank all of you enough for your friendship and your kind messages. But I would ask each of you, in your own way, to please pray for me. I am in need of the power of prayer, which I believe, in addition to the medical treatment that I'm receiving, is the most powerful weapon to help me survive this."

In the end, he got emotional and he hid his face in his hands.
