CAMEROONIAN FOOTBALL STRIKER DIES AFTER HE WAS THROWN AN OBJECT BY SPECTATORS

Cameroonian Footballer Albert Ebosse has died after being hit by an object thrown by spectators of a football 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, who had scored in a 2-1 home defeat by USM Alger, was hit when fans started throwing objects as the team returned to their changing rooms after the game.

Ebosse was the leading scorer in the Algerian league 2013/2014 season, with 17 goals. 

It has not been confirmed what hit Ebosse, but one Algerian paper said that home fans, angry at their team's defeat, were throwing rocks.
