He suffered a heart attack but it could have been a different story had the ambulance driver was alert,' he told the New Straits Times.'The driver was at the stands watching the game when Oniya suddenly collapsed and our defender was deprived of oxygen for several minutes.'He was pronounced dead at the hospital about 30 minutes later,'
Oniya was the captain of his Malaysian clubside T team..below is the last picture he took and was to die barely minutes after taking it..very sad..
I am just amazed how a footballer can collapse and die 3 minutes into a football game.That is nothing at all..the game has hardly begun! Such a shame..i pray for his family and friends to have the strength to bear this great and untimely loss.
