Spokesperson Russel Meiring says he had injuries on his chest and head.


"As we loaded him into the ambulance we found that the patient's vital signs suddenly diminished. ER24 paramedics immediately initiated CPR in an effort to regain his pulse. 


"Unfortunately, after 45 minutes of CPR, no vital signs returned and the patient was declared dead on scene," he said.
