A 65-year-old man from Timișoara died from hypothermia after refusing transport to the hospital, despite the extremely low temperatures outside.

The man and his wife, who had mental health issues, lived in a social apartment and turned off the heating. Concerned neighbors called an ambulance, but the two refused help. Later, the man was found dead. The police opened a criminal case for manslaughter, and the woman was taken in by relatives. Additionally, at the Buzău County Emergency Hospital, three people were hospitalized for hypothermia, including a 73-year-old woman found on the street. Specialists warn about the risks of prolonged exposure to cold and recommend protective measures for the elderly and people with chronic conditions.
