past saving
Too far gone
Beyond the point where rescue or redemption is possible.
Something past saving cannot be repaired, reformed, or redeemed—the damage is too complete: The marriage was past saving, By the time we noticed the leak, the documents were past saving.
Often applied to people whose moral corruption or physical decline has progressed beyond intervention.
