Bromley By Bow player dies in local ILFL match

Bromley by Bow player Kelvin Browne suddenly collapsed half an hour in to the game in the ILFL Winter league match against Mohammedan SC. The player who seemed fine to start the game, suddenly fell unconsciously to the floor while the game was being played.

Local Doctor Emran Hoque, who was playing for the opposing team, tried his best to resuscitate the player and managed to retrieve a very light pulse and bring the player back to a level of consciousness.

However, moments later, the player fell deeper into a level of unconsciousness and passed away as Ambulances started to arrive at the pitch.

Local spectators witnessed this sudden account of Kelvin’s collapse and were very shocked at the nature of the way he unexpectedly died.

Around 50 of us, including his younger brother, looked on helplessly”.
