The wrestler Mitsuki Amano, 28, died suddenly on the floor of the ring, while participating in a fight for “sumo” wrestling in Japan, as the fans and wrestlers participating in the fight were distraught.
At first the opponent and the referee expected that the wrestler would perform one of the show wrestling tricks, but the period of his stay without movement was prolonged and attempts to rescue him failed.
The death of the Japanese wrestler sparked a wave of anger because the doctors did not intervene quickly enough when he fell and remained motionless for a period of time.
