STGC Manning Cup team captain collapses on field, dies

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Captain of St Georges College Manning Cup team Dominic James was pronounced dead at hospital a short while ago after collapsing on the field two minutes into their game against Excelsior High school.

The moment James fell to the ground players reacted quickly and frantically signalled for medical assistance.

James was motionless for a few minutes and was rushed to hospital.

A member of the Excelsior medical staff said that he appeared to have suffered from a seizure.

More information later.
