A 21-year-old Greek footballer suffered a sudden cardiac arrest just five minutes into a game before subsequently dying.
The tragedy happened to Alexandros Lampis at the First Municipal Stadium yesterday while he was playing for third division team Ilioupoli.
Owing to there being no defibrillator, attempts to resuscitate Lampis at the stadium failed, and despite the ground being located within a suburb of the capital of Athens, an ambulance didn’t arrive for 20 minutes.
“Football has been rocked by a series of high-profile incidents among players,” reports the Daily Mail.
