Taxi driver died of heart attack playing soccer.

A 44-year-old taxi driver died of heart attack while he played a soccer game in a field near his

home in Arica.

The victim was identified as Marcelo Antonio Chipoco Alvarez. His relatives said that during the

week his heart had been bothering him but he never went to the Hospital to check out the

problem.

While he ran in the field, the taxi driver felt a strong pain in his chest, so he stopped running and

soon collapsed to the ground. From there an ambulance took him to Noah’s Hospital. The

paramedic team attempted to revive him, but they couldn’t do anything.

The fact caused great commotion in the sports complex, causing the others players to end the

game and to give support to the shocked family.

The funeral of the taxi driver will take place this afternoon on the same field where he died.
