Please get well Enock. Why does this shit happen to such an undeserving person?

Different condition I think? I'm sure I read that a defibrillator wouldn't solve whatever the issue us but I have no knowledge or expertise at all. When my father had a fatal heart attack, the doctor said it was gone in a way that he couldn't have been revived. I don't know what Enock's issue is but maybe he's similarly screwed. 24 is no age at all though, what a real shame.

This doesn’t sound good at all. Thinking of him and his family.

Wishing you all the best Enock 
OK, well it won't be a 'heart attack' (ischaemic heart) disease though. He's far too young. It has to be cardiomyopathy, and the sudden collapse has to be ventricular fibrillation (VF), so an ICD has to be the solution. You don't have a 'heart attack' (sudden collapse) if it isn't VF, unless it is a cardiac rupture (you can rule that out -that's a one way ticket) or a burst aneurysm (you can rule that out too - Gabbi Yorath's brother had one of those).
Maybe he was waiting for an ICD to be implanted?
(In you dad's case, as in my dad's case, he was in VF too long for any sort of defibrillation to get the brain to recover. Loss of blood supply to the brain (as happens in VF) will cause irreversible brain damage in 3-5 minutes at room temperature. The only folk who survive this for any length of time are those who tumble into icy water. It has happened. Sorry for your loss, and RIP my old man too.)

Sad news, I hope he makes a full recovery soon.
Fingers crossed for the best, ie a full recovery. LOst my step Dad to a failed valve last summer, still a bit sore. He was over 50 years older though, Enocks' inning has barely started . . .

There is no doubt you know more on this subject than I ever will, thank you for the detailed and thoughtful reply. Mine passed 22 years ago as I was travelling back from Shrewsbury with my son after the final game of the glorious 00/01 season. He was in good health but fell one afternoon and that was it. We never know for whom the bell tolls.
In fact, no we don't. We need him to get fit and well.

All the best wishes to Enoch… That is a really tough break for a guy so young and fit as he was. I hope that African report is correct and it was a problem with his pacemaker rather than a real cardiac arrest. Anyway my best wishes.

If people actually read this link from Piltdown man it says,
"It was discover that he suffered a shock from his peacemaker, a device used to control an irregular heart rhythm. It has flexible insulated wires placed in one or chambers of the heart."
So, what came out is that his got a ka peace maker that i think was put in the heart which helps him, now it seems probably it developed a fault or it started misbehaving so it’s like it started giving him electric shocks to the heart, so. That doctor said its not really a cardiac arrest but it’s likr more of fear. Because of the electric shock,” the source said.
