Already in the boxing ring the doctors present tried to resuscitate Frankie Campbell for more than 30 minutes, but he died a few hours later in the hospital of a traumatic brain injury . The referee of the bout was later accused of failing to stop the bout in time, even when Campbell was already hanging unconscious on the ropes. He was suspended.
