A fifty-three-year-old man from Alicante has tragically died from heatstroke after walking in high temperatures. Medical professionals from the SAMU attempted advanced resuscitation at his home but were unable to revive him. This incident marks the third heatstroke fatality reported in the Comunidad Valenciana for the year, following earlier cases in Castellón and Alicante.

On the first of July, another victim, a fifty-two-year-old man, experienced discomfort at work and returned home, where he later passed away despite medical intervention. Similarly, a fifty-three-year-old woman died on the third of July after being attended to by emergency services in Callosa d’En Sarrià, also succumbing to extreme heat.

The Conselleria de Sanidad is stressing the need for individuals to follow safety guidelines during heat waves. Recommendations include exercising during cooler hours, staying hydrated, and avoiding direct sun exposure between noon and five PM. Citizens are also advised to keep their homes cool, protect vulnerable individuals, and never leave people or pets in hot vehicles.

Additionally, the public is encouraged to stay informed about daily health risks associated with high temperatures. Information can be found on official websites and social media to alert citizens about local heat risk levels. In case of a suspected heatstroke, calling emergency services promptly is crucial, along with the implementation of immediate cooling measures.
