Ecuadorian star and Mexico's top scorer for last season, Christian "Chucho" Benitez suddenly passes away at 27 while playing his first league match with El-Jaish due to heart failure. Chucho had complained that he had heavy pains in his abdomen, which caused the team's crew to take him to a hospital nearby the stadium at Doha, Qatar. Christian passed away 4 days ago at Ahli hospital. His 24 international goals for Ecuador made him 3rd place in the overall, and the Ecuadorian star passed away just three weeks ago. Manchester United player Antonio Valencia who played alongside Chucho in Ecuadorian team El Nacional tweeted "The pain is very strong brother but we love you" and posted a few respective pictures for him (Chucho). Interior Minister of team Jose Serrano commented on a micro-blogging site "Dear Chucho thank you for your goals and your happiness". The team didn't bother to take him (Chucho) and family back to Ecuador to bury him in a glass coffin with fans looking over his glass coffin partly covered by Ecuador's national flag. Chucho's aunt, Brenda Benitez requested one last autopsy "In order for the country to have clarity, for the speculation to stop".
My condolences to Christian "Chucho" Benitez and family, Rest In Peace Christian Benitez.
