How did Wheesung die?

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating due to an electrical problem that disrupts its pumping activity, preventing blood from reaching the brain and other vital organs. This lack of circulation causes immediate loss of consciousness and the absence of normal breathing. If not treated quickly with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, cardiac arrest leads to death within minutes due to the irreversible damage caused by the lack of oxygen.
