Former France, PSG defender Jean-Pierre Adams dies 39 years after falling into a coma

https://www.espn.com/soccer/france-fra/story/4469508/former-francepsg-defender-jean-pierre-adams-dies-39-years-after-falling-into-a-coma

Former France defender Jean-Pierre Adams has died at the age of 73, almost 40 years after falling into a coma following a medical error, his former clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Nimes, said on Monday.

In 1982, Adams was administered a near-fatal dose of anaesthetic ahead of a routine knee operation, which caused brain damage.


The Dakar-born Adams had won 22 caps for Les Bleus in the 1970s.

He played for Nimes from 1970-73 and for PSG from 1977-79 after joining from Nice.

I knew someone in school whose father died during a spleen operation from a bad anaesthetia mix. Very sad and so unexpected
