Overview
- Borussia Dortmund said the supporter who collapsed on the South Stand during the home game against Bayer Leverkusen died in hospital that day.
- Klinikum Dortmund confirmed the death to local reporters and did not state a cause.
- Helpers and paramedics performed CPR in the stand, used a privacy screen for removal, and continued resuscitation in the ambulance.
- From early in the second half, both fan sections stopped organized chants, and Dortmund fans sang You’ll Never Walk Alone in support.
- The incident occurred in a sold‑out Signal Iduna Park with 81,365 people, and a similar case in Frankfurt the previous week has heightened concern about medical emergencies in the stands.
