DR RISTIC EXPLAINS: Why a boy from Nis who escaped from a man with a knife died suddenly

Experts explain that fear only contributed to the most likely heart problem the teenager had, leading to a fatal outcome.

– Fear probably played a role in the fatal outcome, but usually there should be some disorder from earlier, in terms of some, perhaps, heart defect that was complicated by a racing heart rate. With fear, the pulse increases and can exceed 200 beats. So those heart contractions are ineffective and the heart muscle doesn’t have enough oxygen. There is a cardiac arrest and, sadly, a fatal outcome. Fear itself can also cause death, but in my experience it has been shown that the cause is always heart weakness, says Professor Dr. Miljko Ristic of TV Pink, a famous Serbian heart surgeon.

The unfortunate boy was walking down Hajduk Stanka Street on the fateful night with a friend of the same age, and then they came across a bully. That man ate in the street and threw something at them. Alexander passed him first and then returned immediately, thinking that the man had addressed him. However, the man pulled out a knife. Three teenagers started to flee, but Aleksandar soon fell and sadly passed away.
