Haunting Final Words Of Teenager Who Drowned In His Own Stomach Acid
19-year-old soccer player, Luca Manolache, has tragically died after drowning in his own stomach acid.
The teenage sporting star played as a midfielder for the Romanian team Metaloglobus Bucuresti.
Manolache last appeared in a soccer match against CS Afumati, playing 10 minutes from the reserve position.
After hearing the devastating news of the 19-year-old’s passing, fans paid tribute on social media.
One person writes: “Very sad for his family. May he rest in peace. I pray for those left behind with grief.”
“I was in the stands at all the matches, somebody else comments. “God rest him in peace. Condolences to the family.”
A third types: “Poor kid, what a horrible death. My condolences to his family and friends.”
A fourth pens: “My soul aches for him, an exceptional boy, and for his family, for all they endure.”
Manolache was forced to stop playing soccer in August after a series of concerning health issues.
The sporting star began experiencing prolonged fatigue, dizziness, chills, and bloody stools.
The Mirror reports that his parents and fellow team members saw him struggle to get through the first half of a soccer match.
According to the media outlet, his coach first believed he wasn’t preparing for the matches; however, during one game, his symptoms became so concerning that an ambulance was called after Manolache complained that his vision turned black.
The 19-year-old had been dismissed by doctors after X-rays of his lungs and blood tests taken initially came back normal.
Doctors concluded he was suffering from an extreme infection.
He was administered doxycycline, paracetamol, and algocalmin (a pain medication).
The devastating news of the young soccer player’s death was announced via Instagram by his team: “We are shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic loss. His love for football and his smile brought happiness on the field.”
“Rest in peace, dear ‘Mano.’ Sincere condolences to the grieving family. The entire Metaloglobus family is with you in these devastating moments,” Metaloglobus Bucuresti added.
His mother, Ana, told Romanian media that Manolache called her after feeling unwell while out with a family member on February 28.
Ana, who was working in Bucharest, Romania, called an ambulance for her son.
While in the ambulance, the teenager complained that he couldn’t see anything.
Ana rushed to the County Hospital in Târgoviște, where Manolache was.
Heartbreakingly, his mother didn’t make it there in time; the last conversation she had with her son was over the phone.
As Manolache’s condition worsened, he had shared a brief call with his mother while in the ambulance, relaying: “Mom, Mom, I can’t do it anymore.”
Manolache then asked her, “Do you think I’m dying?”
His 19-year-old sister called to tell her mother that Manolache had died at the hospital before Ana had been able to arrive.
Manolache had been vomiting large amounts of blood and doctors worked to save his life, but, tragically, his body began to negatively react with his stomach acid, causing him to drown.
Doctors told Ana that the circumstances surrounding her son’s death were extremely rare.
Manolache is survived by his mother, Ana, and sister.
