A 69-year-old Brazilian fan died of heart failure while watching his country’s World Cup penalty shootout win over Chile, media reported Saturday.
The man was watching the tense encounter, which Brazil won on spotkicks after the sides were locked 1-1 after extra-time, in a nearby bar when he complained of feeling unwell.
The fan, who was diabetic, died shortly after being taken to hospital, web news portal G1 and the website of Estado de Minas newspaper reported.
The paper added local health officials had to treat some 100 people during the game, including a 50-year-old woman for a heart problem during the penalties and a young man whose nose was fractured in a fight.

Imwe bantu mulebelengako panono. A heart attack can be caused by a slamming door, a shrieking child, a football team losing or winning so stop judging the man who has died. Just make sure you yourself do not become to heart attacks by exercising and eating the right foods

ati eating those is a sin? uli wabufi. all I remember is she taught that cooking butter is not healthy, mixing sugar and milk is poison. coffee and tea you know have nicotine which is addictive. all these my friend are scientifically vindicated. she was a third grader writing those things at a time when learning was not as advanced as it is. that is the time when there was not much agreed upon medicine. George Washington almost died of blood being drained from him as treatment.

When did Ellen G. White become an authority on nutrition? Leave her alone to the confines of her SDA debate and self created controversies of religion. If she was allergic to beef or pork, it doesn’t mean I am too!
Pork chops please!
