Lahore — In a tragic incident, a private school teacher in Lahore, Pakistan, died of a sudden heart attack while delivering a lecture during a teacher training session. The incident, captured on camera, has gone viral on social media, sparking shock, condolences, and debate.
The deceased, identified as Niaz Ahmed, was conducting a training session for fellow educators when he suddenly collapsed on the floor. Attendees rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
In the viral video, Niaz can be seen speaking confidently with no signs of discomfort before suddenly falling to the ground, causing panic among the participants.
Social media users, colleagues, and students have paid tribute to Niaz Ahmed, remembered for his dedication as a middle-school Urdu teacher and his positive presence in the school community.
Meanwhile, the video has also ignited a heated debate online, with some users blaming Covid-19 vaccines for the rise in sudden heart attacks among young and middle-aged adults.
Experts, however, point out that heart disease is already on the rise globally due to a combination of factors — lifestyle changes, aging populations, and poor access to healthcare in low- and middle-income countries. Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
