The facility's security staff also stepped in to provide assistance in the initial stages and facilitate the arrival of paramedics.
An ambulance arrived on the scene and began resuscitation efforts , which continued for a long time in an attempt to save the man. Despite their best efforts, however, all attempts proved futile and the doctors had to pronounce him dead.
Investigations into the causes of death are underway, with suffocation being investigated.
Following the death , further tests were ordered to determine the cause of the fatal illness.
