Two national police officers bring man back to life in Palma

The events, according to sources close to the case, date back to February 20. At around 10.30pm emergency services received a call from a person explaining that his flatmate had been found hanging from a rope in the laundry room. He had no pulse. He was presumed dead.

When the officers arrived, they lowered the 36-year-old man and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They did so for 40 minutes, despite the fact that the man had no pulse. Later, a medicalised ambulance arrived and continued with the first aid. Finally, his heart started beating again and after being stabilised, he was taken to Son Espases hospital, where he is slowly recovering. The medical staff told the officers that their quick action prevented the man's death.
