Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes dies two days after being struck by ball

So sad to hear that this guy finally died. Been following his progress since yesterday. Australian Cricketer Philip Hughes has died two days after a ball hit him in the neck during a match between his team and South wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 25 November 2014.

Though he was wearing a helmet at the time of the freak accident, Philip collapsed and was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney where he underwent surgery and was placed into an induced coma. He died this morning from his injuries. He was 25 years old. May his soul rest in peace, amen.

Doctors said his injury was a rare vertebral artery dissection which led to subarachnoid haemorrhage, which is bleeding in the brain. See pics taken immediately after he fell after the cut...

Hughes was struck in the neck by a bouncer from New South Wales bowler, Sean Abbott.

      Am sure you can read well at Bishop, the story reads "Australian Cricketer Philip Hughes" where you see American cricketer?

    I never thought cricket was a dangerous game till now and it truly is nothing short of a freak accident! The guy would have turned 26 on Sunday. Can't imagine what the person who threw the ball must be going through!

    Very sad for his family and for Sean Abbott too. I just read his helmet was an outdated one.
