Warrant officer György Kolozsvári who suffered life-threatening injuries in an Afghanistan attack died in hospital on Tuesday morning, September 7, 2010. His life could not have been saved despite that he was under the most intensive medical treatment.

György Kolozsvári suffered critical injuries on August 23 when the first convoy of the 8th rotation of HDF PRT was attacked in Afghanistan. The convoy was en route from the Hungarian base in Pol-e-Khumri to Mazar-e-Sharif. The troops were about to return to Hungary. Posthumous lieutenant war heroine of the HDF, Judit Ábrahám died on the spot. Two of her comrades sustained serious injuries. Warrant officer György Kolozsvári was injured very seriously, and had to be taken to the Mazar-e Sharif hospital where he received proper medical treatment.

After his condition had been stabilised, he was transported to Hungary on August 25. Since then he had been lying in an unconscious state in ‘Honvéd’ Hospital where his life functions had deteriorated in spite of the intensive care. The heart of the 37- year-old non-commissioned officer stopped beating on Tuesday morning, September 7.
