Incident Details: The Team was called to a 51 year old man who had apparently suffered a heart attack whilst walking with two companions. His friends and other passers-by assisted with CPR, and the Great North Air Ambulance was swiftly on the scene, but regrettably, the casualty’s life could not be saved.
