The Ministry of Health began checking after the death of Russian citizen Artem Chechikov at the Moscow airport. According to media reports, the 24-year-old young man became ill during the flight from Barcelona to Chelyabinsk, when he and his wife were returning from their honeymoon trip. The plane made an emergency landing at Sheremetyevo. However, Chechikov died before the doctors arrived.

According to Elena's wife, even before landing, the crew warned the airport staff that the victim was in critical condition and a resuscitation car was waiting for him. However, there was no emergency ambulance at the airport, and an ambulance arrived an hour and a half after landing. Eyewitnesses add on social networks and forums that Sheremetyevo's medical workers did not have soft stretchers, and the medical equipment was in poor condition.

Sheremetyevo's commentary contradicts this statement. The press service of the airport claims that the ambulance crew boarded the plane a few minutes after landing, and the doctors had the necessary equipment with them, the OTV channel reports.

All this time, Valery Lukyanov, a resuscitator from Kurgan, who happened to be on board, remained next to Chechikov. In his opinion, the young man suffered a complete cardiac arrest for no apparent reason.

Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets instructed the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Health to find out the circumstances of the death of Artyom Chechikov, ITAR-TASS reports. "The agencies will have to figure out whether the ambulance crews were really unable to arrive on time and provide assistance, and, if this information is confirmed, to understand the reasons and take measures to improve the effectiveness of the provision of assistance in such cases," said Golodets spokesman Alexei Levchenko …

“We sincerely condole with the family and friends of Artyom. A check on this fact has already begun. All the circumstances of the incident will be carefully studied by specialists of Roszdravnadzor, who will draw reasonable conclusions in the shortest possible time, RIA Novosti quotes the press secretary of the Minister of Health Oleg Salagai.
