Watch Video on Indonesian Pro Soccer Goalie Dies After Collision During Match
A goalkeeper for an Indonesian professional soccer team died this weekend from injuries sustained during a match in the country when he collided with another player, went down hard, and immediately started convulsing until first responders rushed on to the field to help him.
The goalkeeper, a 38-year-old veteran athlete named Choirul Huda, was pronounced dead not long after colliding with his own teammate, defender Ramon Rodrigues, and an opponent during a game between Huda's team, Persela Lamongan, and the opponents Semen Padang.
While Huda was conscious immediately after the collision — and the collision itself doesn't even look too out of the ordinary on video — he quickly collapsed and fell unconscious, and he was quickly taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
