On 22nd December, dramatic events unfolded in Berlin. A 45-year-old woman lost consciousness in her flat. Her husband immediately began resuscitation while instructing the children to call for an ambulance.

Unfortunately, while attempting to save his wife, the man suffered a heart attack and died before the emergency services arrived.

The wife, who was successfully revived, was transported to the hospital. Her condition is critical but stable. According to "Bild", the woman's fainting spell could have been caused by a brain aneurysm.
