Approximately 20 minutes later, a neighbor who lives on the second floor of the property found the woman lying on the ground, so he gave notice to her family, who tried to revive her for another 20 minutes while waiting for the ambulance, but she never arrived. Only when the police arrived at the place, the emergency service finally appeared, although it was already too late to save the older adult.
