One of Liberia\u2019s most promising young footballers has died while attending an Olympic training camp in his homeland.<\/b><\/p>\n
Patrick Doeplah, who played his club football in Israel for Hapoel Kfar Saba, was found dead in his hotel room in Monrovria on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old midfielder, who had trials with Kotoko two years ago, was preparing for Sunday\u2019s qualifier against Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have spoken to the players of Kfar Saba [and] they are in heavy shock,\u201d said his club chairman Harel Reichman.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was in camp with the Liberia team and asked permission to meet his girlfriend and spend time with the family,\u201d continued the chairman of the second division side.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe returned to the hotel and just did not get up in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Doeplah did not come down for training and failed to answer any calls, concerned officials broke down his hotel room door only to find him dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to involve the senior people in government so that we can get the properly confirmed because doctors are saying he suffered from cardiac arrest,\u201d said Doeplah\u2019s agent Dawn Greenberg.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was like my child, I\u2019m shocked, it\u2019s unreal.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe called and sent me an SMS yesterday to say he was fine but I am in a total mess now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a two-year-old child and he is the source of income for his family because everyone knows how hard it is in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doeplah made his debut for the national team in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Zimbabwe last September.<\/p>\n
However he had been dropped from the senior side to play for Liberia\u2019s Olympic team on Saturday, when they meet the Ivory Coast in a London 2012 qualifier in Accra, Ghana.<\/p>\n
Ongoing political violence in Ivory Coast means the Olympic qualifier has been scheduled for the Ghanaian capital Accra on Sunday, but it is now unclear whether the game will go ahead.<\/p>\n
