Just after a month after being involved in a life threatening car crash, Ecuador international Marco Angulo has died at the age of 22.
His club made this announcement after he passed on Monday night.
“With deep sorrow and sadness, we regret to have to inform you of the death of our dear player Marco Angulo,” LDU Quito, who play in Ecuador’s top flight, said in a statement on Tuesday morning.
“We convey our condolences to his family and his loved ones.
“His passing is an irreparable loss which will leave an indelible mark in our hearts.”
The LDU Quito midfielder had been in hospital since the incident on 7 October in the south of Ecuador’s capital Quito.
Angulo made 16 appearances for the club. His last appearance came on 6 October – a day before the car crash.
Angulo made his debut for Ecuador in November 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 0-0 draw against Iraq, and earned three caps for his country.
