“My dad was not sick at all, but he had high blood pressure. He spoke with his brother on the phone on the night before he died the next morning. He only fell down in the bathroom and died when there was nobody to help him. He attended a church anniversary last Sunday, so there was nothing like sickness before he died.”

The absence of immediate help during the critical moment highlights the unpredictable nature of health emergencies, especially for individuals with underlying conditions like hypertension.
