A German holidaymaker (56) was planning to climb the Mallestiger Mittagskogel with his wife and nephew when it suddenly collapsed. Despite CPR measures, the man could only be recovered dead.
The German trio was on their way to the Mallestiger Mittagskogel in the municipality of Finkenstein on Thursday. Shortly before the summit, the 56-year-old likely suffered a heart attack and collapsed. His wife and cousin immediately called 911 and began CPR.
Mist bank made it hard to use
Immediately the team of the rescue helicopter “C11” set out to come to the rescue of the Germans. For the rescue team, the mission was made even more difficult by a fog bank. On arrival, the emergency doctor and the rescuer continued CPR. Meanwhile, the police helicopter “Libelle” also brought two mountain rescuers to the scene. Despite all efforts, the 56-year-old died on the Mallestiger Mittagskogel.
He, his wife and cousin were followed by the police helicopter into the valley.
