Ichud Hatzalah responders were summoned to a dormitory of a yeshiva on Havakook Street in Bnei Brak on Thursday morning, 21 Sivan 5773. EMT Ze’ev Teffer reports that niftar z”l, 20, was a brother of a chosson scheduled to get married tonight.
When his roommates were unsuccessful is waking him, they realized something was wrong and called EMS.
Shimon Ettinger of Hatzalah Gush Dan reports that when they arrived it was clear the niftar was dead for a number of hours prior to their arrival and therefore there was no point in beginning CPR.
The physician on the scene made the final determination that there was nothing to be done for the niftar, who was pronounced dead on the scene. The niftar is a resident of chutz l’aretz. Family members are in Eretz Yisrael for the chasenah.
Zaka was summoned and is involved with preventing an autopsy.

ברוך דיין האמת. מהטרגדיה הזה של הבחור החשוב בן 20 “אנחנו-כל כלל ישראל” צריכים ללמוד: להרשות בנינו ובנותינו להתחזק בתורה ובמצות ובפרט בכל עניני צניעות!!!! כמה שהילדים שלנו רוצים, ולא לעמוד בדרך שלהם כשרוצים לעשות יותר ב”שטייגון בידישקייט” לצערינו כמו שהרבה הורים עושים היום. ה”י
מי יודע כמה זמן יהי’ לנו הזכות לחנך ילדינו, אח”כ זה מדי מאוחר לחנך אותם, ואז אין מה לעשות ר”ל
יה”ר שנזכה לגאולה שלמה בקרוב ממש
לכו ונשובה אל השם
His brothers chasuna was postponed till next week. His name is Sharf. His family is from Antwerp. I wish his family to only have simchas.
“Zaka has been called to prevent an autopsy”…
But a death under these circumstances can be important (i.e. Hatzolas nefashos) to investigate in relation to siblings. Including the chosson…!
A limited autopsy (fluids for toxicology; he wouldn’t be the first!) and radiologic imaging/core specimens might be a compromise that causes less linas ha’meis than a court fight.
