Russian man dies after visiting hammam in Turkey

In the Turkish Alanya died 45-year-old tourist from Kaliningrad Oleg Fidchenko. The man became ill after overheating in a hotel hammam. This is reported by the media.

According to sources, the Russian came to Turkey on vacation with his wife and seven-year-old daughter. The family stayed in the Avsallar area. On November 6, the man went to the hammam on the hotel grounds.

During the bath procedures, the tourist suddenly collapsed to the floor and lost consciousness. The victim was urgently hospitalized by ambulance, but he could not be saved. Resuscitation measures did not yield results. The deceased had a wife and a child.

Experts remind that the main danger of hammam is the combination of high temperature and humidity. In such conditions, the body cools worse, and the load on the cardiovascular system increases. Overheating can provoke an arrhythmia or heart attack. Additional risk factors include dehydration and certain medications, including pressure medications and diuretics.

A three-year-old boy from Belgorod died after contracting rotavirus during a holiday in Abkhazia - at the resort, the child began swelling of the brain, and he fell into a coma. The parents claim that doctors in Sukhum, realizing the hopelessness of the condition, sent the family to Russia, where the boy died in a Sochi hospital after 13 days. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on causing death by negligence, and investigators are preparing to question Abkhaz doctors.
