A Japanese Sumo Wrestler Has Died Of Corona Virus

The 28 year old sumo wrestler died from health complications after contracting corona virus, and he is the first in the sport to fall victim to Covid-19. Shobushi, whose real name was Kiyotaka Suetake, died from multiple organ failure after a bout of pneumonia, as announced by  Japan's Sumo Association (JSA). The wrestler first developed a fever on April 4 but struggled to get treatment at hospital because of a deluge of similar complaints from other potential patients.
