A man from the UK has passed away after collapsing in a hospital in Greece while accompanying his unwell wife for treatment. The 55-year-old tourist was on vacation with his wife in Kalavryta, Achaea, in southern Greece when she suddenly fell ill and needed urgent medical attention.
The man drove his wife to Kalavryta Hospital on a Wednesday afternoon, where medical staff provided initial care to the woman as she lay on a bed. Tragically, the man collapsed while standing by her side, prompting doctors and nurses to swiftly administer CPR in an attempt to save him. Despite their efforts, the man was pronounced dead shortly afterward, as reported by the Ekathimerini newspaper.
The exact cause of the man’s death remains unknown at this time, with an autopsy scheduled to be conducted in the upcoming days to determine the circumstances. Local authorities in Kalavryta have initiated a preliminary inquiry into the incident.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the woman has been discharged from the hospital after receiving brief treatment for her illness. This is a developing news story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
