Ils étaient accompagnés par xxx, venu de xxx Brésil pour formation.
Arrivés sur site à 9h, en pleine campagne, ils ont été pris en charge par l’agent d’exploitation local, Mr x.
Avant même le démarrage de l’intervention, Mr x a perdu connaissance.
Rapidement, xet xxont diagnostiqué l’arrêt cardiaque et ont démarré sans délai le massage cardiaque.
