The former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has announced his retirement from football at the age of 36 because of a heart condition. The Brazil international played nearly 600 games in his 17-year club career. Lucas joined Liverpool in 2007, staying at Anfield for 10 years before moving to Serie A in 2017, where he played for five seasons with Lazio.

Lucas returned last summer to his boyhood club, Grêmio, making 17 appearances and scoring three goals for the Brazilian side before being sidelined in December, when he was diagnosed with the heart issue after routine tests.

On Friday, Lucas announced that the issue has brought a premature end to his career. “I would like to thank Grêmio for all the support in these three months,” he told a news conference. “Today I am announcing my retirement. It’s been a difficult period.

“I’m ending where I would like, not the way I would like. But I’m sure a new cycle will begin. I had a lot of hope that [the issue] could be reversed, but it was not the case. My health comes first.”

In a social media post, Lucas added: “The day has come to say goodbye to the field. I confess that it came from greater forces, but I look back and can only be thankful for the career I built. In 2007 I transferred to the giant Liverpool, which was part of my life for 10 years.

“It is with great pride that I can say that today Liverpool is my home. I’m proud to be an English citizen and along with my family, I’m [a] Scouser!”

In a statement posted on Twitter, Liverpool said: “We’re all with you, @LucasLeiva87. Congratulations on a brilliant career and we wish you the very best in your next chapter.”

Signed from Grêmio for £6m in 2007, Lucas became a popular member of the Liverpool team as a defensive midfielder, earning a League Cup winner’s medal in 2012 and helping the club reach the 2016 Europa League final.

The Brazilian, who won the South American under-20 championship in 2007, also earned 24 international caps and won the Coppa Italia with Lazio in 2019.

Peter Baddoo, Department of Mathematics instructor, dies at 29

Baddoo was a respected and admired scholar, teacher, mentor, and colleague.

MIT Human Resources
Publication Date: March 15, 2023
Peter Baddoo, an instructor in the Department of Mathematics, passed away suddenly on Feb. 15 while playing basketball on campus.

Baddoo joined the MIT Department of Mathematics in January 2021. Prior to this, he was an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow at Imperial College London. He studied mathematics as an undergraduate at the University of Oxford and received his PhD from Cambridge University.

An accomplished applied mathematician, Baddoo had broad research interests and activities spanning complex function theory, fluid dynamics, and machine learning and data-driven methods. His book, “Analytic Solutions for Flows Through Cascades” (Springer, 2020) received praise for its “exceptionally clear presentation with beautiful figures.”

“Peter was an outstanding, self-propelling researcher, a master of complex function theory with a burgeoning interest in machine learning, and had several collaborations within the U.S. and farther afield. He had an exceptionally promising future in academia. He was a deeply respected and valued member of my research group and the broader applied math community. He will be sorely missed,” says Professor John Bush, his faculty mentor.

In addition to his research, Baddoo was an exemplary teacher who gave generously of his time in assisting colleagues, graduate students, and undergraduates.

“Peter was an excellent lecturer — clear, composed, thoughtful, and kind. He was extremely popular among his students,” says Michel Goemans, the RSA Professor of Mathematics and Department of Mathematics head. One of Baddoo’s students in class 18.04 (Complex Variables with Applications) says that “I took Peter's class, and I walked out of that class actually liking math. I was assured that I want to study more of math and pursue a minor.”

Aside from his work as a scholar and teacher, Baddoo brought the department together by organizing social events for postdocs and instructors; for these and other efforts he received a Math Community Service Award. His interests extended well beyond mathematics and included music and sports such as basketball and lacrosse — which he played at Oxford and Cambridge universities, and as a member of the Senior England Men’s training squad. He was also a devoted and active member of Park Street Church.

In his honor, the Department of Mathematics will be endowing a Peter Baddoo Prize to recognize outstanding contributions to community-building within the department.

Peter Baddoo is survived by his parents, Jim and Nancy; his sisters, Kate and Harriet; and his fiancée, Yuna Kim.

British Army recruit suddenly collapsed during fitness test and died


Will Neal Monday 20 Mar 2023 3:25 pm

A man trying out for the British Army collapsed during a fitness test and later died.

Youngson Nkhoma, 30, was 200m from the finish line of a timed two-kilometre run at an assessment centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire, when he suddenly fell to the ground.

The dad-of-one, who was from Malawi, died after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

A spokesperson for his family said their ‘whole world changed’ from the moment they received the news.

They added their ‘grief has been overwhelming’ and that ‘we wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone’.

An inquest later found Mr Nkhoma and another recruit, Kamil Iddrisu, 25, who died under similar circumstances, both carried sickle cell trait.

An inherited predisposition toward a particular group of blood disorders, the condition can cause catastrophic organ failure triggered by strenuous exercise.

Mr Nkhoma’s family are now understood to be suing both the Ministry of Defence and public recruitment partners Capita Business Services Ltd for more than £200,000 in compensation.

The family said in a statement after the inquest: ‘Youngson had been chatting about the Army for a long time and was excited about being invited to the selection process.

‘When he collapsed just short of the finish line, it was a huge shock, but not for one minute did we expect to get told he had passed away.

‘Losing Youngson at such a young age was nothing short of traumatic and something we’ll never get over.’

Stephen Clark, a military lawyer with Irwin Mitchell, the firm representing Mr Nkhoma’s widow Latia in her claim, added: ‘Kamil and Youngson’s families remain devastated by their deaths which they’re still struggling to come to terms with.

‘The inquest has undoubtedly been tough for the families, having to relive everything again.

‘While we cannot change what happened, we hope that they have been able to get the answers they deserve.

‘We also hope that Ministry of Defence continues to strive to prevent anything like this from happening again.’

Any responses by the Ministry of Defence and Capita have not yet been made publicly available by the court.

The MoD has reportedly since started routinely screening new recruits for sickle cell trait prior to commencing fitness tests.

Updated: Mar. 19, 2023, 3:54 p.m.|Published: Mar. 19, 2023, 3:36 p.m.

By Brian Linder | blinder@pennlive.com
Joshua Balara was one of the best offensive linemen in Pennsylvania during his time at Dallas High School, and that helped pave his way to college and a spot on the Dartmouth football team.

His future was bright.

Balara tragically died Thursday after battling adrenal cancer. He was 21.

His death came just about eight months after he was first diagnosed, according to The Dartmouth.

“He was known as gentle, quiet and thoughtful with a subtle sense of humor and a love of Legos,” Dartmouth Dean Scott Brown wrote of the 6-foot-3, 305 pounder in an email to the college. “Josh loved Dartmouth football, and his coach described him as committed, unselfish and dedicated to his team, teammates and program.”

Walt DelGaudio, who’s son Luke played alongside Balara at Dallas before moving on to Pitt, tweeted about his passing.

“The most gentle, kind and nicest young man I know,” DelGaudio wrote. “Now an angel in Heaven. We miss him so much.”

Oklahoma Guard soldier dies following Army Combat Fitness Test


By Jonathan Lehrfeld. Monday, Mar 13

A soldier in the Oklahoma National Guard died earlier this month during a training mishap, Army officials confirmed.

Spc. Jaykob R. Pruitt, 19, of Bennington, Oklahoma, a cavalry scout with the state Guard’s 1st Squadron, 180th Cavalry Regiment, was found unresponsive the morning of March 4 after completing the two-mile run portion of the Army Combat Fitness Test, according to a preliminary loss report published by the service.

CPR was administered and emergency medical services were contacted before Pruitt was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the report added.

The incident occurred at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, Oklahoma, Maj. Kristin Tschetter, a spokesperson from the Oklahoma National Guard, told Military Times.

“Since 2018, the Army has lost an average of one [s]oldier a year to on-duty sports, recreation and physical training mishaps,” the report noted. “This was the third ... of [fiscal year 2023] and above the number of on-duty sports, recreation and physical training fatalities from this time last year.”

The Army lost three soldiers to sports, recreation and physical training-related mishaps in fiscal year 2022, according to the annual assessment of the Army safety program.

“One [s]oldier collapsed and died during a unit physical training [event] and two died due to drowning, one during pool certification and the other in a lake during an organizational day event. Additionally, a foreign national soldier training within the U.S. was involved in a drowning mishap,” the report said.

Pruitt’s passing comes on the heels of an incident in February, when a soldier at Camp Humphreys, Korea, Spc. Sun-Ho Lee, died in another on-duty sports, recreation and physical training mishap, according to another preliminary loss report.

Pruitt joined the Oklahoma Army National Guard in October 2020, according to a press release shared with Military Times. He earned several awards and decorations, including the Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

'Uniquely' talented amateur GB boxer dies aged 19


Published 11 hours ago

By Steve Knibbs and Ollie Pritchard-Jones

BBC Points West

A "uniquely" talented amateur boxer from Bristol has died at the age of 19.

Jude Moore, who trained at Downend Boxing in Fishponds, was found dead on Friday, his family confirmed.

Shortly before his death, Jude won his first senior fight by knocking out the Polish national champion and was due to compete in Milan this week.

Boxing trainer Craig Turner said he was "immaculate" and "by far the best boxing talent that emerged" from Bristol for his age.

Jude was a two-time national champion and was inspired to take up boxing by his father and uncle.

He moved from the Bristol club to train at the Hoddesdon Boxing Academy in Hertfordshire under the management of Sab Leo in the past year.
Future world champion

"There's nothing that any of us really did to develop that talent. It was just his flair, his uniqueness, his personality," Mr Turner said.
"There was only one, there could only ever be one and it's just a shame that we will never see him fulfil his potential."

Jude was interviewed by BBC Radio Bristol in 2018 when he was 14, shortly after he won the 2017 England Boxing School Champion.

Speaking at the time, he said: "No matter what, my heart will always be in this sport."

Mr Turner explained that as well as having "immense" talent, Jude was very keen to share it with younger boxers of the future.

"Everybody looked up to him. He could just effortlessly mix amongst all cultures all classes. He just loved to talk. You just couldn't stop him," he said.
"He was an entertainer and boxing is an entertainment business. That's why I am sure he would have gone on and won a world title.

"He just loved to be around people and he hurt very easily.

"He thought everybody was his friend. He was just immaculate.

"Along with (former IBF bantamweight) Lee Haskins and (former World Champion in the super middleweight) Glenn Catley, Bristol had another world champion (in Jude).

"There was going to be no doubt at all."

Jude leaves behind his parents, Mark and Carla, and brothers, Ethan and Beau.

20 marzo 2023 14:24

Struck by a sudden illness, probably a heart attack, while training in the gym: it is the sad fate of a 55-year-old man. The drama took place in the late morning of today, Monday 20 March, in a sports center in via Civiltà del Lavoro in Verolanuova.

The man would have felt bad while he was participating in a spinning class: he would have suddenly collapsed under the eyes of his classmates and the instructor. The call to the single number for emergencies was triggered at around 12.30 and the rescue machine moved quickly: in a few minutes the volunteers of the White Cross of Leno arrived, and the team of a self-medication. Unfortunately, the efforts of the doctors were in vain: the 55-year-old's heart never started beating again.

Shortly afterwards, the Verolanuova carabinieri also arrived and were responsible for investigating the case. According to initial findings, there would be little doubt about the natural causes of death

Ibrahim was a fit and active teenage boy - one day he went to bed and never woke up

Ibrahim Shahid was found 'unresponsive' in bed by his parents at his home in Oldham on Wednesday morning



By John Scheerhout Crime reporter
21:39, 19 MAR 2023

Tributes have been paid to a fit and active 14-year-old schoolboy who was found dead in bed by his devastated parents.

Ibrahim Shahid was found 'unresponsive' in bed at his home in Oldham on Wednesday morning.

Tributes have been paid to the popular teen, a 'care-free soul' at Hathershaw College and a keen footballer for Chadderton FC Juniors.

Hundreds of family, school friends and well-wishers attended prayers for the youngster at his mosque, Villa Road Masjid in Oldham on Friday afternoon, and his burial at Chadderton Cemetery later the same day. A minute of applause was held before youth matches across Oldham on Sunday to celebrate his short life.

Ibrahim leaves behind his taxi driver father Shahid Ilyas, 48, mum Saima Jawaid, 44, and three siblings Ismael, 25, Saher, 24 and Elizah, 18.

His uncle Umar Jawaid, 39, an optometrist, said the family was 'living through a nightmare'.

He told the M.E.N: "This has had a massive impact on the whole community. I've been to a lot of funerals, unfortunately, in my time but we had to delay the prayers so imams from other mosques could arrive. There were hundreds of people there, pupils and teachers from Hathershaw College and from his primary school, Broadfield primary school. It was incredible.

"Ibrahim was one of those characters who had friends of all ages at Hathershaw school. He had friends in the lower years and friends in the higher years. He had really good conversational skills and he was able to bring people together. He'd also really developed leadership skills.

"He was very active. He was a keen footballer. He loved his football. I spoke to one of his teachers who said he didn't want to pick him for the school team but he was one of those characters who just pestered him and pestered him. Eventually he could not say no to the kid!

"He used to run around and had bags of energy. On the street he was always having a kick-about. No-one went until Ibrahim was tired, which to be honest didn't happen very often."

Umar said his nephew was 'always punctual' at school and always attended the mosque for prayers.

"He was a care-free soul. He wanted his life to be as stress-free as possible, just to have a joke. He would say his brother was the one who was going to go to work and that he didn't need that stress," said Umar.

Ibrahim, a Manchester United fan, was a 'fit young lad' but the 'initial indication' was that he had suffered an undiagnosed heart problem, he added. He suffered from 'no prior health issues'.

A statement on the Chadderton FC Juniors Facebook page said: "It is with deep sadness that the club were informed of the unexpected and tragic passing of Ibrahim Shahid on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

"Ibrahim, who was a member of the U14 Stripes, had been with the club since he was 6 years old and is pictured below (front centre) in his first cup final back in 2016.

"In fact he was our first ever man of the match and the first ever winner of the annual manager's player of the year trophy.

"Nothing fazed Ibrahim, he was a popular member of the squad and always brought a smile to the faces of his coaches with his constant questions, be it football related or life in general.

"You will be badly missed young man and everyone at the club, both juniors and seniors, players, coaches and families send their heartfelt condolences to his family."
