The 45-year-old jogger suffered a fatal heart attack, collapsing in the midst of his exercise routine along Beach Road. This unexpected and heartbreaking event serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
Ward Councillor Nicola Jowel was on hand to witness the jogger’s collapse. She reported that nearby walkers rushed to offer assistance, attempting to resuscitate him while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Despite their valiant efforts, the jogger could not be revived, and he was declared dead at the scene.
