Bathhouse deaths in Guri and Gapyeong raise concerns over sudden temperature shifts

Two men in their 60s and 70s died in separate incidents at bathhouses in Guri and Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. According to police and fire authorities, a report was made at around 1:40 p.m. on May 12 that a man in his 60s was floating face down in a bath at a facility in Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong County. He was taken to a hospital while receiving CPR but died. Later that day, at around 4:27 p.m., a report said a man in his 70s was believed to have fallen into the water at a bathhouse in Inchang-dong, Guri. He was transported in cardiac arrest and also died. Police said there were no signs of crime in either case and are investigating the exact circumstances, including possible cardiovascular disease or blood pressure abnormalities. Fire authorities warned that sudden temperature changes during bathhouse use can cause a drop in blood pressure or place strain on the cardiovascular system. Source: cited from mk.co.kr
