Aged 32, the young man was in cardio-respiratory arrest when the firefighters intervened to try to help him, at the Kaufmann stadium, where the meeting was being held. The player died, despite the gestures made by the emergency services. A medico-psychological emergency unit was opened on Saturday.
Muret's Scorpions, the American football team, posted a message on Facebook on Sunday. "Today our hearts are a little heavy," writes the team. We are still in the most total misunderstanding. You, our big fellow, our steamroller, our indestructible which falls before us. You have given so much on and off the field for this club, this family. "
