27-year-old Arturas Rudys, had lost his life on his rugby game, due to cardiac arrest, in Cambtidgeshire.
He collapsed during the game of the Eastern Counties Frist Division, on the game between, Wisbech RFC and Diss RFC at Wisbech Rugby Club on Chapel Road, Wisbech.
The medical stuff immediately rushed onto him, but he couldn’t survive from the cardiac arrest, and lost his life on the pitch.
“He was, right from the start, a very polite and personable young man keen to get involved in rugby” said, Wisbech Rugby Club secretary David Dobson.
“He played some rugby in Lithuania before the family moved to England, and he got involved in the club. He made an immediate impact with players his own age and players older as a lad who was eager to improve his game and make himself available to play.”
His club, Wisbech Rugby, stated an announcement regarding the passing of Arturas.
“It is with great sadness that the club announces the death of Arturas Rudys during a match played on Saturday 14th October”
“Arturas, aged 27, was a hugely valued and respected member of our club who began his time at Wisbech RFC in 2013. “
“Wisbech RFC thanks everyone who helped Arturas in his immediate moments of need yesterday including, club first aiders, teammates, and Diss RFC. “
“The club also wishes to thank the emergency services and first responders who attended the scene. “
