Apple Watch’s Elderly Owner Was Also Suffering From a Medical Condition That Could Have Made Things Worse
The unnamed owner of the Apple Watch was found near some shrubbery 12 minutes after the wearable alerted authorities. At this stage, he was semi-conscious, according to CB546 News Atlanta, and was extremely cold to touch due to the freezing temperatures in Morrow. He was later transported to the nearest medical facility, where he was treated and later released. City of Morrow Fire Department Deputy Chief Jeff Moss says that the Apple Watch alert did not pinpoint the authorities to the elderly man’s exact location but the closest address instead. The fire department claims that the man’s outcome could ‘undoubtedly’ have been worse due to the freezing temperatures and the fact that the Apple Watch owner had an ongoing medical condition. How he fell was not disclosed, though it is possible that the low temperature made the surface he was walking on extremely slippery. Another possible reason was that the weather may have rendered the man semi-conscious, causing him to fall. Thankfully, an Apple Watch was there to save the day. News Source: CB546 News Atlanta
