Police officers from Sopot found a frozen man in the cemetery after eight hours

On Saturday, just before 9 p.m., the officer on duty at the Municipal Police Headquarters in Sopot received a disturbing report. There was supposedly a person at the local cemetery with whom there had been no contact for several hours. A patrol was immediately sent to the spot - junior sergeant. Radosław Kotwicki and Sgt. Anna Składanowska.

The cemetery was already deserted, and the falling darkness and cold intensified the atmosphere of anxiety. The police were searching the area when they suddenly heard a faint cry for help from a distance. They didn't hesitate for a moment - they moved towards the voice.

After a short search, officers found a 53-year-old man. It turned out that he had been at the cemetery for about eight hours. He was clearly cold, tired, and had no food or water with him. His phone died and he couldn't call for help. Additionally, due to his disability, he was unable to leave the necropolis on his own.

The police immediately called an emergency medical team. After administering first aid, the man was taken into the care of his family.

The Sopot police emphasize the importance of quick reaction and vigilance of the surroundings, especially in autumn, when darkness falls earlier and the weather can be treacherous. Elderly, sick or disabled people are particularly at risk when staying outdoors for long periods of time.

The police appeal to pay attention to people around us who may need help. Sometimes a simple question or a call to the emergency number 112 is enough to save someone's life.
