A young football goalkeeper was declared in Spain two days after a collision with an opponent for brain dead.
The family of the 19 -year -old Raúl Ramírez had decided to donate his organs to help other people in need, the Football Association of the Cantabria (RFCF) said.
According to the announcement, three mourning days were proclaimed for the entire region in northern Spain.
Ramírez stood in the goal of the Spanish fifth team Club Deportivo Colindres. The tragic collision occurred on Saturday in the game of his club at SD Revilla. According to the agreed media reports, none of the parties involved was to blame.
According to the doctors, the goalkeeper suffered a heavy traumatic brain trauma and several cardiovascular homes.
“A young man full of life, full of dreams”
The game was canceled at 1-0 for the home team. Ramírez was immediately brought to the intensive care unit of the Valdecilla University Hospital in the regional capital Santander, where the doctors could not save him despite all efforts.
The regional president of Cantabria, María José Sáenz de Buruaga, was deeply affected: “A young man full of life, full of dreams and full of future. My entire sympathy and the cantabria applies to his family, his friends and the entire football family of Cantabria.”
