Basketball death

A MAN in his mid-30s died on Thursday night during a Men’s Basketball game at the Cardinia LiFE Stadium.
At about 7.45pm the player suffered what is believed to be a coronary seizure during a game. An ambulance was called immediately and first aid was rendered by staff and an off-duty policeman, who was at the centre.
Ambulance paramedics arr-ived and continued treatment, however the patient could not be revived.
“This tragedy has had an enormous impact on the local community and our thoughts extend to the family, friends and team members,” YMCA executive officer Anthony Neal said.
The Cardinia Life through the YMCA management team and Cardinia Shire Council are providing support and assistance for those involved.
