Junella Ang - Man dies hours after soccer match

A 46-YEAR-OLD avid soccer fan collapsed at home on Sunday afternoon and died hours after playing in a match. The signs have been there during the friendly game with his colleagues earlier. During the game he complained about being tired and unfit, but he put it down to having stayed up the night before to ctach a Euro 2008 game. He returned home form the game and took a shower and a nap. He then wake up and had his lunch and perform his prayers. His wife then heard a loud thud, followed by her children shouting to her that their father collapsed. He was taken to Changi General Hospital, where efforts to revive him failed.

Personal View : I feel sorry for this man who had passed away so suddenly leaving behind his wife and children. This must be a dreadful news to his family members. Apparently from this article, we learnt that we must not over stress ourselves when we are unwell. It is important to take care of one's health and have adequate rest to carry on with our daily lives. If we were to feel unwell, we must not treat it as a small matter as we do not know what it may lead to. Hence, we must seek medical help immediately. We must learn to take care of ourselves by leading a healthly lifestyle !
