Los
Angeles Galaxy Manager Dies in
Costa Rica
The president and general
manager of U.S. Major League
Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy
has died while on a flight back
from a match in Costa Rica,
local emergency services said.
Doug Hamilton, in his
mid-forties, suffered what
appeared to be a heart attack
shortly after take-off from San
José on a Taca airlines flight
late Thursday, and died before
the airplane could land again,
local Red Cross spokesman Omar
Piedra said.
"The airplane took off and the
gentleman suffered a heart
problem. They went back to the
airport but he was already dead,
there was nothing they could
do," Piedra said.
Hamilton was on his way home
after Galaxy played Costa Rican
team Saprissa in the second leg
of the CONCACAF Champions Cup
quarter-final on Wednesday.
Saprissa won the game 3-2.
