Cops in Portland, Oregon , are searching for a man who stole from a liquor store as a clerk was having a heart attack and ran away without helping the victim.

According to the Portland Police Bureau, an employee at Bins & Barrels was having a medical emergency around 6:15 p.m. on Oct. 25. As this was going on, the suspect went behind the counter and stole cash from the employee and store office before fleeing.

"This does not appear to be connected to any larger string of crimes, more of a crime of opportunity," Mike Benner, public information officer, told Law&Crime.

The employee was identified by co-workers as 53-year-old Jason Hay. He was taken to the hospital, where he died about a week later.
