Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

A retired National Police general, Francisco P.M., collapsed and died while playing basketball. Francisco had remained a prominent member of the National Police's internal basketball squad after retirement, to help maintain his fitness.

So far, authorities have not offered any further details about the exact circumstances of the death.

That’s not CPR.

Generally speaking dying isn’t so bad when all your old friends have gathered around.

This is the third one that died during indoor basketball in the country. They're battling a heatwave there with temps up to 95°F outside and 103.8°F in some areas inside and yet older and slightly out of shape men have to play a match ffs

Sad for this person. In the DR I have met 3 generals. They are all rich, ignorant, corrupt and divorced living with young woman that can easily be their daughters. I was hanging out at the beach in Puerto Plata and just happened that a mansion was built in front of this particular beach. It turns out it was the property of a retired general. He had no class and was a piece of crap. He got the position due to his father who was an influential politician. That is how the shit goes down in the DR. He invited me to spend sometime at his place while my boat was undergoing some major repairs. I kindly said no and left the beach to never return to that side of town. One of the worst things in a society is for militants to uphold civil laws. Brazil and several other countries like the DR are sad examples of corruption and ideology.
