The string of football deaths continues with news that 22-year-old Alexandros Lampis, who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ilioupoli FC, collapsed after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest during Wednesday’s match against Ermionida.
The dramatic scene unfolded just 14 minutes into the game at the First Municipal Stadium of Ilioupoli FC in the 3rd football league in Greece.
Lampis collapsed to the ground without taking contact from another player and doctors rushed onto the field to try and revive him. However, there was no defibrillator available at the stadium and an ambulance was called.
An ambulance arrived after 15 minutes and Lampis was put into the back of the ambulance.
Both sides were visibly shaken by the sight and the match was abandoned shortly afterward. Ilioupoli FC announced his passing not long after the incident.
Yeah, that's just fucking great. Go read the whole thing.
