A man serving his alternative military service died yesterday shortly after he collapsed while weeding, the National Conscription Agency said.

The 22-year-old serviceman, identified only by his surname, Chen (陳), collapsed and began convulsing shortly after 9am when he and some of his colleagues were weeding behind a restaurant at Chengkungling in Taichung.

Chen was given emergency treatment and rushed to a hospital, but resuscitation efforts failed and he was pronounced dead about one hour later.

The hospital initially said that his death could have been caused by a heart problem, but that an autopsy would be needed to determine further details.     [FULL  STORY]
