13-year-old Samuel Akwasi dies after Nottingham football match collapse
A post-mortem examination found no sign of disease or infection.
"It was a small, persistent channel between the aorta and pulmonary artery that should have closed after birth, [but] it was not causing any problems for Sam," she said.The inquest heard there had been "some confusion" regarding first aiders available at the match, and on the locations of the defibrillators at nearby sites.
She said she would write to Nottingham City Council, which runs the site, and other authorities in Nottinghamshire to recommend all public parks and sports grounds have access to defibrillators that are clearly signposted, and called for nominated first aiders to be in put in place before matches.Following the inquest, Mr Akwasi's club said it hoped improvements could be made to keep players safe during matches.
Audra Wynter, portfolio holder for highways, transport and parks for Nottingham City Council, said the authority was "already in the process of taking action" on issues raised by the coroner, including installing new defibrillators that would be inspected weekly in its parks.
