Another Cameroonian Football star dies in football pitch
8 May 2016
Dinamo Bucharest and Cameroon midfielder Patrick Ekeng has died.
Ekeng aged 26, collapsed and died of a suspected heart failure in the pitch.
The promising young star fell to the ground in the 70th minute of a televised Romanian league match between Dinamo and Viitorul.
He was pronounced dead in hospital two hours later.
Ekeng’s death will remind soccer fans of the death of another Cameroon football great Marc Vivian Foe who collapsed and died in a world cup match in 1998, televised live throughout the world.

Marc died in 2003 in a Confederation Cup against Colombia.
On 26 June 2003, Cameroon faced Colombia in the semi-final, held at the Stade de Gerland in Lyon, France. In the 72nd minute of the match Foé collapsed in the centre circle,[21] with no other players near him.[22] After attempts to resuscitate him on the pitch, he was stretchered off the field, where he received mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and oxygen. Medics spent 45 minutes attempting to restart his heart, and although he was still alive upon arrival at the stadium’s medical centre he died shortly afterwards.[21]
