The tragic death of the actor
In the winter of 2013, during the next performance on the work of art “1001 Passion, or Little Things in Life,” the actor felt a sharp malaise. Right in the middle of reading one of the monologues, Alexander lost consciousness. As it turned out later, the artist had a sudden cardiac arrest. Similar attacks occurred earlier, but did not lead to serious consequences.
Those present in the hall tried to provide first aid to Bondarenko. Here was the actor’s wife, who until the last hoped that her husband would come to his senses. All attempts to give Alexander a heart massage before the doctors arrived were in vain. After 20 minutes, the doctors who arrived at the call found a cardiac arrest. So suddenly the life of an extremely talented actor ended, which could play more than one great role.
