A deeply emotional and tragic moment has taken over social media as a video showing a man collapsing and passing away during his wife’s 60th birthday thanksgiving in church has gone viral.
The couple can be seen celebrating the special occasion surrounded by family, friends, and members of their church congregation. The atmosphere was filled with joy and praises as the woman marked her milestone age with a thanksgiving service to God.
In the video, the man, holding a microphone, was seen singing praises, while his wife, who was celebrating her 60th birthday, danced in joy beside him.
However, the joyous celebration quickly turned into a heartbreaking scene when the man, who appeared to be in high spirits moments before, suddenly slumped shortly after.
The heartbreaking video has sparked massive reactions online, with many netizens sending in their condolences and praying for strength for the bereaved family.

@ToluDaniel10 said, “How does these things happen all of a sudden How how.”
@PeterObiUSA said, “The video was cut as his collapsed. I hope extensive CPR was done on him immediately and not just crying and praying ? CPR and a quick emergency 🚨 response to the hospital 🏥 would have saved his life.”
@ChidiOmo said, “Once the dizzy spell starts, find the nearest chair or the floor to sit on! To keep standing worsens your chances of survival! God rest his soul.”
@EddyConsult said, “That was very sad to watch and very sudden in nature . Please for known hypertensives or diabetic try not to stand too long or be in very hot zones .Always check your blood pressure and take your pills before leaving home or carry them along . However it can still occur suddenly . ✅This may be a case of a heart attack( Myocardial Infarction ) or sudden cardiac death . Sudden cardiac death refers to an unexpected and abrupt cardiac function cessation. This condition is typically caused by a sudden, life-threatening arrhythmia, disrupting the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. It may be as a result of underlying coronary artery disease issues . Sudden cardiac arrest can be fatal if it lasts longer than eight minutes without CPR. Brain damage can happen after just five minutes. My sincere condolences to the family of the deceased.”
