The Romanian public prosecutor has charged emergency
doctor Elena Duta with the manslaughter of former Cameroon midfielder Patrick
Ekeng.
Ekeng, 26, collapsed during a league match for Dinamo
Bucharest in May and died of heart failure.
The prosecutor said Duta, the emergency medical
specialist in the ambulance which took Ekeng to hospital, made no attempt to
resuscitate the player.
Hospital staff were unable to resuscitate him on his
arrival.
An autopsy showed the player was suffering from multiple
serious heart problems, but the Bucharest prosecutor said: "Even if among
Patrick Ekeng's causes of death were the cardiac problems he suffered from, by
her unjustified inaction Elena Duta removed any chance of survival.
"She did not evaluate the footballer's state of
health and made no attempt at resuscitation."
The prosecutor's office quoted forensic scientists as
saying 95% of people with similar heart problems survive cardiac arrest if
defibrillation is administered within 60 seconds.
"The chances of survival drop by 5.5% with every
minute," prosecutors said.
Ekeng fell to the floor in the 70th minute of a televised
Romanian league match between Dinamo and Viitorul.
He was pronounced dead in hospital two hours later.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
