A new dramatic video has been hitting the internet in the last few hours.

Help was useless. They write on Twitter that it is a young man of only 23 years.

Midnight run ends in death for veteran fireman
October 5, 2022
Hong Kong - A 51-year-old fireman collapsed and died when on a midnight run in Sam Ka Tsuen sports ground in Kwun Tong. The man, Tong, had been running on a football field near his home when he was found unconscious by security staff at 12.03 am yesterday. He was taken to United Christian Hospital by ambulance but was certified dead upon arrival. Sources said the veteran with 31 years of service had a history of illness, though an autopsy should help determine the cause of death. The chairman of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department Staffs General Association, Jerry Nip Yuen-fung, said Tong was married with a son and a daughter. Yuen also said the department does not require firemen to go through regular health checks, but they must pass a running test every year. "They are regarded as fulfilling fitness requirement if they pass the test," he said. Lobo Louie Hung-tak, associate head of the Education University of Hong Kong's Health and Physical Education Department, said most sudden deaths during exercise are caused by heart problems, with coronary heart disease being the most common cause. He said for those aged 35 or above, as in Tong's case, reasons of sudden death may be related to acquired factors such as the "three highs" in blood pressure, sugar and fat levels or hidden congenital heart disease.
