A German-Austrian couple were hiking in Lungau on Sunday afternoon when the 46-year-old man suddenly collapsed and died. Resuscitation attempts were in vain. The possibility of third-party negligence can be ruled out. 

It all happened very quickly: the man was still complaining of circulatory problems, as the woman told the emergency services. Then he collapsed motionless. 

The hiker could not be resuscitated. He died at the scene of the accident.
