MDA paramedic Rafi Sheva said: “When we arrived at the residential building we went up to the machine room on the roof and saw the man lying unconscious, with no pulse and no breathing. We provided him with medical treatment and performed resuscitation, but his condition was critical and in the end we had to determine his death. “
Shai Romano, a paramedic from the Electric Bicycle Unit of the Rescue Union, said: “This is an elevator technician who was electrocuted while working in the elevator’s engine room. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene after prolonged resuscitation attempts – due to the nature of the incident.”
