A Ghanaian soccer player who played in the Premier League for Chelsea and Newcastle was found dead in the rubble of a 12-story building that was taken down by the massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria earlier this month.
Christian Atsu’s body was found on Saturday as workers rummaged through the ruins of the building in the city of Antakya in southern Turkey, according to his manager. Atsu was 31 years old.
His manager, Murat Uzunmehmet, told the private Turkish news agency DHA that Atsu was found dead, and his belongings were still being removed.
Atsu scored the game-winning goal for his team, Hatayspor, just hours before the earthquake hit early in the morning of Feb. 6. Atsu joined the team in September.
