On December 22, dramatic events unfolded in Berlin. A 45-year-old woman lost consciousness in her apartment. Her husband immediately began resuscitation and simultaneously asked the children to call for an ambulance.

Unfortunately, while saving his wife, the man suffered a heart attack and died before the rescuers arrived.

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