Dominic James collapses during games

St George's College captain, Dominic James collapsed and died during his team's ISSA-Flow Manning Cup against Excelsior at the Stadium East field in Kingston. He was rushed to the Medical Associates Hospital where he died while undergoing treatment. St George's coach Neville Bell said James appeared to have died from a seizure.

“This one is tough,” cried St George’s College’s Head Coach Neville Bell as he reacted to news that his captain Dominic James had died.

18-year-old James was recently invited to Jamaica’s Under-20 team. He collapsed roughly two minutes into the game returning to his team’s side after an offensive attack by his school. He remained motionless on the field for a few minutes and was attended to by two medical doctors before being rushed to the hospital.

“I thanked the referees for calling the game off. I don’t know if we could have handled it. I don’t know if the Excelsior team could have handled it because they were so very concerned,” said Bell.
