Dutch football mourns Jergé Hoefdraad. The former professional was shot in the head after an argument in Amsterdam. He died in a hospital at the age of 35. The Dutch police reported on Monday.
But as it turned out, that's not true. Hoefdraad is still alive! The “Bild” writes this and is based on a statement by the Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf”. The Dutch police are embarrassed by the hoax. “That is very annoying. We have corrected it and we apologize to the family,” said a police spokesman. How the wrong message got to the public is unclear.
Nevertheless, there is still no all-clear for the ex-Ajax kicker. His condition is still “critical”. He was operated on immediately after being admitted to the hospital.
But what actually happened? The former youth player from Ajax Amsterdam wanted to settle a dispute at a music festival in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. A man shot Hoefdraad with a gun and hit him in the head. The police have confirmed the death of the ex-kicker of the newspaper “De Telegraaf”. After the shot, panic broke out in the festival hall, read on. The police have already identified a prime suspect.
Hoefdraad did not make it from the Ajax youth academy to the professional team of the Dutch top club. Nevertheless, it was enough for a professional career. After several positions in the Dutch second division, he signed with De Volewijckers in July – a club from the lower house.
