Alex Apolinario, a Brazilian football player, has died at 24 after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest that caused him to collapse during a match on Sunday, a statement released by his club F.C Alverca on Thursday. He was 24 years old.
The sad incident happened on Sunday while playing for Portuguese third division side F.C Alverca against Uniao de Almeirim. The player lost consciousness and fell to the ground in the 27th minute of the match. The club’s medical experts were able to get his heart-beat again on the pitch with a defibrillator. However, he was then taken to a Hospital de Vila Franca de Xira and put into a medically-induced coma.
On January 7, 2021, F.C Alverca communicated on the social network that Apolinario had passed away.
