Currently, the safety is in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he’s now receiving further treatment and testing. It was later revealed that Damar underwent cardiac arrest after the play ended.
Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is when an electrical disturbance causes the heart to stop beating suddenly. A heart attack can cause cardiac arrest, but a heart attack is a “circulation” problem.
