HHPC Victor's racing yacht falls behind as Emergency Personnel are radioed for help in Kaliburg

His Highness the Prince Consort Victor Martin, aged 68, has suffered a massive stroke this afternoon during the 18th annual Davon Bay Circuit Championship. The Prince Consort was at the helm of one of his racing yachts, The Empress Eliabeth, when his crew signaled race officials for help and immediately began reefing the vessel's sails to signal trouble. Upon arrival, first responders found the Prince Consort to be unconscious and unresponsive to questioning. They immediately took His Highness to Davon Central, where an MRI revealed a large hemorrhage in the Prince Consort's brain, indicating a stroke followed by an aneurism.

Doctors began immediate emergency surgery, but as of the latest reports, there was a lot of internal bleeding during transit, and the pressure on the Prince Consort's brain has likely caused severe damage. Her Imperial Highness, the Empress was rushed to the hospital and the Crown Princess and Prince were also flown into the city from Kalistan Proper to be with the Prince Consort. A spokesperson for the royal family asked for privacy during the Prince Consort's treatment, but also revealed that the prognosis for the Prince Consort was not good. "Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress has authorized me to say that doctors consider it very unlikely that the Prince Consort will regain consciousness, but she intends to hold her husband in the Light, and asks for the Nation's thoughts and good energy on his behalf."

The situation remains critical, and the Hospital has honored the Empress' request and has not made any official statements on the Prince Consort's condition.

The race was finished with the KalMD team's boat winning. The Prince Consort's boat was in 7th when they withdrew from the race.
