Abstract

Chronic alcohol abuse can cause both acute and chronic health problems. Unfortunately, sudden cessation is problematic, with risk of complications ranging from mild to lethal. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with substantial alcohol abuse, who suffered cardiac arrest after sudden withdrawal of alcohol. No other cause of death was found despite thorough examination. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a potentially fatal condition and the risks of sudden withdrawal should be recognized and treated.
