Russian crew member could not be saved

The Gravesend lifeboat was called in an attempt to save an unconscious man aboard the "MSC Sariska" on Jan 5, 2016, at 10.30 a.m. London Coastguard received a report that a Russian crew member had stopped breathing. When the RNLI boat arrived on the scene the crew found man had collapsed on the deck at the back of the ship and his colleagues were already carrying out chest compressions on him. They then attached a defibrillator and administered CPR for around 40 minutes. Once the container ship had docked at the Stanford leHope superport London Gateway, the East of England Ambulance service including its HART (Hazardous Area Response Team), offered further assistance. Care was then handed over to the ambulance crews and they spent another 30 minutes trying in vain to save the man’s life.
