Fire Fighter Dies Due to Hypoxic Brain Injury & Heart Attack
On March 11, 2001, a 65-year-old male fire fighter collapsed as he finished a training exercise. Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and subsequent advanced life support (ALS) measures kept him alive; he was stabilized at the local hospital emergency room and transferred by air ambulance to a referral hospital.
He never regained consciousness, however, and 3 days later he died. The autopsy revealed an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and bilateral coronary artery stenosis (blockage of the arteries of the heart), and the pathologist concluded that the cause of death was the myocardial infarction with "severe hypoxic brain injury" resulting from the cardiac arrest.
The death certificate, completed by the cardiologist, listed "cardiac arrest" as the immediate cause of death, due to "myocardial infarction," with "coronary artery disease" as the underlying cause.
There are remedies for accidents that cause brain damage.
If you or someone you know has suffered brain damage as a result of the negligent act of another, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. You need to contact an attorney in your state that handles brain damage cases as soon as possible.
