Football fan dies of heart attack during match in Iran stadium

A football fan passed away on Friday due to a heart attack during an Iran Pro League match between Sepahan and Malavan in the Fooladshahr Stadium in central Isfahan province.

The 70-year-old man was reportedly using a heart pacemaker, but it failed due to overexcitement in the match.

He was given CPR and efforts were made to resuscitate him, but to no avail.

Some witnesses also blame the ambulance for arriving too late at the scene.

An investigation was launched into the tragic incident and organizers of both teams have been banned from holding any match until the results are out.
