The incident occurred on September 5, during the late morning. A worker carrying out renovation work suddenly felt unwell on the roof of a school in Gryfów Śląski. According to paramedics, he most likely suffered cardiac arrest.

According to lwowecki.info: – The services that arrived at the scene immediately began providing assistance to the injured man. Unfortunately, the resuscitation efforts proved unsuccessful. The 35-year-old worker died.

Police and the prosecutor’s office are determining the causes and circumstances of the incident.

SCA (sudden cardiac arrest) is a condition in which the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively, leading to the cessation of circulation and breathing.

Several key facts:

  • Causes: most often a heart attack, rhythm disorders (ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia), injuries, suffocation, or drowning.

  • Symptoms: loss of consciousness, absence of breathing or agonal breathing, and absence of a pulse.

  • Time: irreversible brain damage occurs after just 4–5 minutes without circulation.

  • 救援: immediate action is crucial – CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the use of an AED (defibrillator), if available.

That is why it is so important to call for help quickly and begin chest compressions – this can save a life before the emergency services arrive.
