The Authority confirmed that the Command and Control Center received a report at 5:27 AM about an unconscious pilgrim in the Tawaf area.

The emergency teams were immediately dispatched to the patient’s location, where it was confirmed that she had stopped breathing and her heart had stopped. Following the approved protocol for such cases,

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated using the automated external defibrillator (AED) available in the mosque as part of the "And whoever saves it" initiative.
