Woman died in Coruche. Help arrived half an hour after help request

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 21:00

A woman died from cardiorespiratory arrest in Coruche after choking. The incident occurred after a help request was made to assist the victim.

The firefighters from Coruche, who were the closest to the location, did not have ambulances available at the time of the rescue request. This situation led to the emergency response arriving with a significant delay.

The rescue took approximately half an hour to arrive at the location after the help request was made. During this period, it was not possible to provide timely assistance to the woman who ended up dying.

Why this matters

The population of Coruche now faces the concern that local emergency services may not have the capacity to respond quickly to life-or-death situations. This case follows reports of lack of available resources at fire stations, raising questions about safety and emergency medical response in the area.
