Electrocuted, heart stopped! Details of the accident involving Ferdi Zeyrek revealed: 'A great miracle occurred'

Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ferdi Zeyrek was seriously injured as a result of an accident in the machine room of the pool at his home on the first day of Eid al-Adha. CHP Deputy Chairman Erhan Erdem explained what happened in an interview with Mustafa Akbaş from Halk TV.

According to allegations, Zeyrek noticed a malfunction in the pool system at his home and went down to the machine room. At that moment, he slipped and came into contact with the electrical system inside. Exposed to the high-voltage current there, Zeyrek collapsed to the ground.

HIS WIFE TURNED OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS, NO PULSE

Hearing Zeyrek fall to the ground, his wife, Nurcan Zeyrek, quickly went downstairs upon hearing the noise. The first thing that came to mind for Mrs. Nurcan, who realized the situation, was to turn off the electrical circuit breakers. At that moment, Zeyrek had no pulse.

CPR BEGAN

Zeyrek's childhood friend Emre, who had been with him shortly before the incident, was immediately called to the house by his wife. Arriving at the scene within two minutes, Emre began performing CPR on Ferdi Zeyrek, who had no pulse.

At the same time, an ambulance was called, and the municipal police and fire department teams were notified. Within approximately 3 minutes, the municipal police and fire department teams affiliated with the Manisa Metropolitan Municipality arrived at the scene.

After the ambulance reached the scene, the first medical intervention was performed on Zeyrek inside the ambulance. Although his heart started beating again for a short time, it stopped once more. Medical teams fought for minutes to bring Zeyrek back to life.

"A GREAT MIRACLE"

CHP Deputy Chairman Erhan Erdem stated in his remarks following the events, "His heart had stopped for approximately 70 minutes. But a great miracle occurred. Mayor Ferdi is known for his benevolence and helpfulness. Perhaps as a reward for these good deeds, he clung to life through prayers. His kindness did not go unrewarded," he said.

CONDITION IS STABLE, BUT DANGER PERSISTS

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel announced that the condition of Ferdi Zeyrek, who is in intensive care at the hospital, has stabilized, but the life-threatening danger has not yet been completely overcome. Zeyrek's treatment continues in intensive care.
