Cameroonian player dies in Algeria after being hit by object from crowd

Cameroonian footballer Albert Ebosse has died after being hit by an
object thrown by fans at a game in Algeria.

Ebosse, who was 24, was declared dead after being taken to hospital in
Tizi Ouzou, east of the capital Algiers.

The JS Kabylie striker was hit when spectators started throwing
objects from the stands as the teams left the pitch at full-time.

Ebosse was the leading scorer in the Algerian league in the 2013-14
season, with 17 goals.
It has not been confirmed what hit him, but one Algerian newspaper
reported that home fans, angry at their team's defeat, were throwing
rocks.

A statement from Ebosse's club said he had "succumbed to a head
injury" after being struck at the end of the match.

A special meeting of the Algerian league (LFP) has been convened for
Monday morning and the stadium has been closed until further notice.
