Luka from Međimurje died in the emergency room.

A 39-year-old entrepreneur from Međimurje, Luka Palatinuš, died suddenly at a regional hospital in Čakovec after visiting the emergency department. His father, still grieving, claims the family was told by hospital staff that they had not received timely assistance, leading to his death in the waiting room. The father criticizes the healthcare system and state institutions, stating that Luka had a history of high blood pressure in his family and that medical personnel seemed dismissive of his symptoms. The hospital responded by stating that Luka was assigned a triage level based on his reported symptoms and was treated accordingly, but his sudden death occurred during further processing. They emphasized that all patients are treated according to established protocols and that the circumstances of his care are being carefully reviewed.
