He had been in a training session on March 2 when the tragic incident took place. He sadly died in hospital on Thursday. His heartbroken sister Rosilene Reis said there was a brief window where he could have been saved if he had been given oxygen and medical treatment within three minutes of the sting. But Waldonilton was said to be too far away for emergency services to reach him in time. Rosilene said he spent 20 minutes desperately fighting for breath before medics finally arrived. She said: “There was no help, no health centre, no hospital close by. The most that was available was a fire Department base that didn’t have a doctor on duty. “If there had been adequate care, a doctor, a fireman, or a health centre, someone could have resuscitated my brother. “But how did he pass? More than three minutes, it took a while to be taken to Joventina, he couldn’t stand it. No person could stand it.” THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY… The Sun is your go to destination for the best celebrity news, football news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
