A 49-year-old Ghanaian amateur footballer, Emmanuel Harrison, has died of coronavirus in Italy, a report from the European country indicates.
A report by Italian portal Oglio Po says Harrison passed away on Monday after being hospitalised for 10 days at the Oglio Po Hospital in Vicomoscano, a town in the northern Italian region of Lombardia.
Report in Italy claimed he had contracted the virus while working on a forklift at a local factory, EmiliaNa Parati.
“Misinformation from people in Italy. Now, anybody who dies in these days has coronavirus,” football agent Oliver Arthur who is related to the deceased.
“They’ve even agreed to give us the body for burial next week. That automatically cancels Covid 19 as the course of death.”
“His physique, as well as his undoubted skills of a striker, helped him,” the report said. Harrison had plans of moving to London in the United Kingdom where his wife and three children live, but had been constrained by paperwork.
Harrison is the third Ghanaian in Italy, and the fifth Ghanaian abroad to have died from the disease.
