Patrick Claude Ekeng Ekeng (born March 26, 1990 in Yaoundé , † May 6, 2016 in Bucharest , Romania ) was a Cameroonian football player .

Career

Ekeng began his football career in 2006 at the age of 16 with the club in his hometown Canon Yaoundé , where he also received his first professional contract in 2008. In 2009 he moved to France for Le Mans FC , where he was under contract until 2013. In 2011 it was awarded to AF Rodez for half a year . In 2013, after 35 games and one goal for Le Mans, he moved to FC Lausanne-Sport , where he played 28 games and scored two goals in one season. He then moved to Cordoba FC . Since 2015 he has been under contract with Dinamo Bucharest . He scored his first goal for the club in the semi-finals of the Romanian Cup at the end of April 2016.

Ekeng made his international debut in 2009 at the U-20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009 , where he was eliminated with the U-20 national team in the preliminary round. In 2015 he made his debut in the senior national team . He was also scheduled for the 2015 African Cup of Nations, but had to pass due to an injury.

Ekeng collapsed on May 6, 2016 in the 70th minute of the league game against FC Constanța, seven minutes after coming on as a substitute after a heart attack . Despite attempts to resuscitate for more than an hour , Ekeng died a little later in the clinic. On the evening of his death, it was announced that Ekeng was said to have suffered from heart problems. Ekeng is the second Dinamo Bucharest player , after Cătălin Hâldan in 2000, to collapse and die during a game. The Romanian police opened an investigation into possible serious failures to provide Ekeng with medical care prior to his admission to hospital. On May 11, 2016, after the autopsy of the Cameroonian, it became known that Ekeng suffered from several heart malformations. However, it is not clear whether this was also the cause of the cardiac death.
