The 38-year-old man from Liaoning province in northeastern China had been living with his mistress while still married.

He suffered a cerebral haemorrhage at his lover’s home, and she took him to the hospital for emergency treatment, according to NetEase News.

After he was admitted to the intensive care unit, doctors tried to find the woman to get her consent for surgery, but she had left the hospital.

Another woman then arrived at the hospital and told doctors she was the man’s wife.
