A Chelsea fan slumped and died in Enugu on Tuesday [Apr. 24] during the
European Champions League match between Chelsea of England and Barcelona
of Spain.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the teenage twin boy,
identified as Chinedu Ibeabuchi, slumped in a football viewing centre
when Barcelona scored their opening goal in the drawn semi-final match.
Chinedu, who lived with his mother and other family members on Marcus
Garvey Street, New Haven, Enugu, was said to be a student of a secondary
school in Enugu.
A lady who identified herself as a sister to the deceased, said the
family was not willing to talk about the incident but was rather
concerned with his burial arrangements.
A source close to the family told NAN on Wednesday that Chinedu was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead.
NAN also learnt that the body had been deposited at the Eastern Nigeria Medical Centre, Enugu.
It was gathered that the Chinedu family lost their father sometime in 2011.
The match ended 2-2 at full-time with Chelsea advancing to the final on a 3-2 aggregate.
