Louis O'Neill played games for 'hours' each day after being furloughed from work within a week of lockdown
A healthy football coach, 24, has died from deep vein thrombosis after spending most of lockdown playing video games and not going outside.
He then started to feel unwell at the end of May, with doctors on 111 first thinking he had food poisoning. But he later complained of a pain in his leg, and died on June 3 before paramedics could arrive.Mr Greening is now warning other families about the dangers of being inactive during lockdown, stating that if he can prevent just ‘one loss’ in his son’s name, ‘than that’s one bright light that will shine on Louis’.
‘But no-one I mean no, ever in a million years would have predicted a blood clot. And just like that, it ripped my son away and I died inside along with him. 24 years old. Who is warning youngsters? Who is warning anyone of any age? No one. So I am. My son will live on, I shall continue to spread this warning in his name.’
