FC Cincinnati is mourning the tragic passing of 22-year-old midfielder Marco Angulo.
The club has announced that the player was involved in a major vehicular accident in his native Ecuador in early October that killed two other people.
Angulo was placed into a medically-induced coma due to severe injuries to his head and lungs. He has since passed away.
“FC Cincinnati are heartbroken to share that Marco Angulo passed away Monday night after a battle with injuries sustained in an accident last month,” FC Cincinnati said in a statement on Tuesday.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Marco — a husband and father, a brother and son, a friend and teammate. He was a joyful, kind young man who lit up every room he entered. Our entire club grieves this tragedy, and we are thinking of and praying for his family. He was a cherished member of the FC Cincinnati family, and he will be missed.
“Marco is survived by his wife and young son.”
