Sad news indeed for the fan and his family......
However, would one expect that the game should be abandoned? We do not know how long it took to stabilize him and take him away but if it were feasible to re start after the delay, would that not be a better option?
The reason reported is one of respect...but should thousands have their day ruined because of the misfortune of the one? If it was me that was the victim, I would not expect or want the game abandoned.
Call me a stone-hearted so and so if you like, but that is my thoughts on it ......
