Ex-Newcastle star, Cheick Tiote, dies one hour after slumping in training in China

Admin June 5, 2017

Former  Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote has tragically passed away aged 30. The Ivorian collapsed in training whilst playing for Chinese League One club Beijing Enterprises after suffering a heart attack.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital but doctors were unable to save the father of three.

A statement from Beijing Enterprise said: “At 6pm on June 5, Tiote fell unconscious during training. He was immediately taken to hospital but died at 7pm.”

Ex-Toon team-mate Demba Ba was one of the first to confirm the tragic news by writing on Twitter: “may Allah grant you jannah brother Tiote.”

And Tiote’s agent, Emanuele Palladino, also said: “I can confirm that my client Cheick Tiote sadly passed away today.”

Tiote kick-started his career at Belgian side Anderlecht before sealing a move to FC Twente in 2008.
