Paramedics battled to save teen’s life

Paramedics were unable to save the life of teenage soccer player Shetemi Ayetigbo who collapsed and died during a match in Dublin on Sunday.

The boy was playing in a match for north Dublin side Belvedere Football Club against St Kevin’s Boys when he collapsed on the pitch about 25 minutes into the game.

A number of people rushed to the player and the defibrillator at the ground was used in an effort to save his life. Paramedics who attended the scene also worked furiously to save the boy’s life on the way to Beaumont Hospital.
