A footballer has died in India due to a lack of medical attention, NDTV reported.
The player, known as Venkatesh, died on the pitch during a tournament today, and was a first division player for a local club, Bangalore Mars.
He collapsed while warming up in the practice area during a match against SW Railway at the Bangalore Football Stadium.
Venkatesh's teammates hired an auto rickshaw and took him to Hosmat Hospital, one of Bangalore's most busiest hospitals, but was declared dead on arrival by the doctors.
Venkatesh, 28, was a resident of Gautampura in east Bangalore. Initial diagnosis suggests cardiac arrest was the cause of death.
Only last week, the Bolton player Fabrice Muamba collapsed during a FA Cup tie with Tottenham. He was critical in intensive care but has now been declared stable.
