After the tragic death of 24-year-old Darren Rodgers earlier this week, a man in his sixties collapsed in the stadium during Northern Ireland’s match this afternoon and was later pronounced dead from a heart attack.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland confirmed the man’s passing on Twitter.
The man has not yet been named in the media, but his family in Belfast have been notified of his passing.
