UPDATED: Frostbite and hypothermia no joke reminds Parkland Ambulance
It’s an unfortunate story, but serves as a reminder to bundle up.
On Saturday at 11:21 a.m. Parkland Ambulance Paramedics responded to a severely hypothermic man who was located on the 300-block of 17th Street West. He was near death and suffered from extreme frostbite.
He was also not dressed properly for the weather.
He was discovered by bystanders and it’s still unknown as to how he ended up outside, but Prince Albert Police say alcohol may be a factor.
