    hypoglycemia - could have been the problem. If sugar or something with high sugar content helped revive him, then chances are his blood sugar was rather low.

  • OZA 8 years ago

    JK. Your comment is not necessary. Is that not content of the article?

  • JK 8 years ago

    Oza, W'Liata seems to think that article did not indicate what the young man was suffering from. I was merely pointing this out to him. Perhaps, W'Liata may have missed that.
