  "account": "On September 28, the police confirmed the death of a 24-year-old Muay Thai fighter who had been hospitalised following a tournament at the National Stadium in Singapore. The fighter was taken unconscious to the hospital after competing in the AMC 13 Fight for Hope tournament on September 12. No foul play is suspected, as preliminary investigations have not revealed any evidence to support such a claim. The Singapore Civil Defence Force received a call for assistance at 1 Stadium Drive at approximately 7:05 pm on the day of the tournament, and one person was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The Singapore Muaythai Association, which organised the event, stated that medical assistance was provided on-site before the individual was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. The association has initiated a formal review to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and has rejected claims that the fighter was knocked out during the event. Both athletes remained present for the results announcement and exited the ring unassisted. The Fight for Hope tournament, which took place over three weekends in August and September, aimed to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore.",
