An amateur volleyball player died in Spain as a result of an accident, El Mundo reports.
Arnaldo Benitez, a 43-year-old Paraguayan, died after celebrating a victory in a volleyball match with his friends.
Three police officers arrived at the scene and found the man unconscious. The police officer began to bandage the head wound, and his colleague began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Then doctors arrived and continued resuscitation work. The man regained his pulse and was transported to hospital in critical condition, where he died on Sunday evening.
Eyewitnesses told the police that the athletes threw the victim into the air several times, after which they lost their balance and Benitez fell to the ground, hitting the back of his head.
