A
football fan who suffered from injury resulting from a crush at the Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang, East Java, died on Thursday after receiving treatment for more than two weeks in a local hospital, a local media outlet reported on Friday.
The death of 17-year-old Reyvano Dwi Afiansyah brought the total number of deaths from the Kanjuruhan stampede to 134.
Local daily Surya Malang reported that Reyvano, a devoted fan of Arema FC, commonly known as Aremania, died from multiple injuries, including one on his head.
"We never took him off the ventilators. His condition had always been unstable," an official from Saiful Anwar General Hospital in Malang was quoted by Surya Malang as saying.
One hundred-33 Arema fans, including 40 children, were killed during a crush at the stadium on Oct. 1, in what FIFA president Gianni Infantino described as "one of the darkest days for football".
After supporters invaded the pitch at the end of a league match between Arema FC and rivals Persebaya Surabaya, police fired tear gas into packed stands, sparking a stampede.
