A 46-year-old man died of cardiac arrest during a functional training competition in Quebec City due to a lack of medical preparedness. The coroner's report found no intervention plan, dedicated medical team, or adequate first-aid equipment at the April event where Matthew Aguba collapsed. The organizer has since implemented enhanced medical services, though Quebec lacks strict regulations for medical planning at large sporting events.
