Heartbreak as French Footballer Jean-Pierre Adams Dies After 39 years in A coma

Earlier, Sportsbrief had reported how Curtains have fallen on French footballer Jean-Pierre Adams who was in a coma for 39 years.

Adams slipped into a deep coma in 1982 after an anaesthesia error while undergoing routine knee surgery at a French hospital.

The footballer was confirmed dead on Monday, September 6, at the Nimes University Hospital aged 73.

During his active playing days, the Senegalese-born defender turned out for a number of French clubs, including Nice and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, as his career entered the twilight year's, life, and indeed his journey to stardom, took a rather sudden and tragic twist.

While aged 34, Adams walked into a Lyon hospital to undergo a routine surgery on his knee, with that being the last time he walked, talked or even voluntarily moved any of his muscles again.
