71-year-old cyclist dies after fall: heart problems suspected!
On Friday, September 28, 2025, a tragic incident in the region between Erlach and Pflochsbach caused great consternation. A 71-year-old man was found lifeless next to his bike, sparking alarmed reactions from local cyclists. At around 3:30 p.m., passers-by spotted the man and immediately called the emergency number to provide help as quickly as possible. Thanks to a fire drill that took place nearby, rescue workers were able to arrive quickly and take the necessary measures. Unfortunately, the man died in hospital on the same day, despite ongoing resuscitation carried out when he was transported by a rescue helicopter.
Cause of incident unclear
Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the cyclist's death was due to sudden cardiac death or a fall. Initial information suggests that foul play can be ruled out, which reinforces the investigators' assumptions. However, intensive investigation is underway to determine whether the cardiac arrest may have been due to a medical reason, as can often be the case.
Given the circumstances, the question arises as to what the chances of survival are in the event of a cardiac arrest. Studies show that the probability of surviving a cardiac arrest is comparatively low, even after resuscitation. Only one in three affected people reach the hospital alive, and 90 percent of survivors end up in a coma. Many of them are fighting for their survival because the risk of organ failure or lack of oxygen in the brain is enormous. About only one in ten patients survives the first 30 days after a cardiac arrest.
What happens after a cardiac arrest?
The deceased's wife may have asked herself many questions about the exact circumstances of his sudden illness. While any external symptoms such as scratches were only mild, it often remains unclear how serious the possible brain damage is. According to reports, there is often a lot of uncertainty about the long-term consequences when someone wakes up from a coma. These difficult questions concern not only the medical but also the emotional side of the event and show how important the rapid deployment of rescue workers is in such critical moments.
Overall, the situation remains dramatic for the family and friends of the deceased. The incidents remind us once again how quickly life can change and how important quick help is in an emergency. The entire community mourns the 71-year-old man, whose death leaves a deep hole, and we think of those left behind during this difficult time.
