Spa massage therapist dies from overwhelming client rush on Valentine’s Day in St Petersburg
In St Petersburg, a 36-year-old Indonesian massage therapist working at a spa centre died due to an intense influx of clients on Valentine’s Day. She served customers continuously without breaks, and after resting briefly, she fainted and passed away. She leaves behind two minor children.
This incident highlights the risks workers in service industries face during peak times, especially on holidays when customer volume surges dramatically. Ensuring employee health and safety must remain a priority despite high demand.
Ongoing investigations may lead to stricter labour protection regulations within the sector to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
