Last minute rescue: Missing senior citizen found in Bad Lauterberg!
The search for a 91-year-old pensioner from the Gifhorn area, Lower Saxony, who went missing while on vacation in Bad Lauterberg took an exciting turn. The good news: The woman who had been missing since June 10th was fortunately found on June 14th. This reports fr.de.
The elderly woman was last seen on Tuesday afternoon and did not return to her hotel. In a remarkable community act, the police asked the public for help in the search, which initially remained fruitless. However, evil took a positive turn when an alert local resident heard noises coming from a densely overgrown slope of the “Kummel” and searched for the source. There he found the elderly woman in a helpless position under thick bushes.
A lifesaver among the neighbors
The resident's quick action is considered life-saving by the police. He was able to free the woman from her predicament, who was injured but responsive. Immediate rescue measures were then initiated by the rescue services, the volunteer fire department and the police. The senior citizen was immediately taken in an ambulance to Herzberg Hospital, where she was treated. As a result of her rescue, the public search for the senior citizen was stopped. Presseportal.de emphasizes that the Bad Lauterberg police expressed their thanks to the emergency services and, above all, to the woman's finder.
This senior's situation also sheds light on the challenges older people face. Like in a report Deutschlandfunk discussed, special emergencies arise in older emergency patients. Many of them have previous illnesses or regularly take medication that can play a role in such emergency situations. First aid courses offered by the DRK for seniors are very important here.
The 91-year-old retiree's return is clear evidence of the importance of community and attention, especially in times of need. Your incident reminds us all to be careful and react accordingly in such cases. A big THANK YOU to the rescuer and everyone involved in the rescue!
