The fan has died after collapsing outside Cardiff City Stadium
Huddersfield Town have confirmed the fan who collapsed outside Cardiff City Stadium after their Championship clash with the Bluebirds last month has passed away.
John Vaughan fell to the ground on Sloper Road just after Neil Warnock's men beat Huddersfield 2-1 in Cardiff on August 21.
Cardiff fan Andrew Bartley, from Thornhill, was among those who helped give the 62-year-old CPR and he later received further treatment from paramedics before being taken to hospital.
But Huddersfield have confirmed that - just under two weeks after the incident - Mr Vaughan has died, with reports elsewhere saying he suffered a suspected heart attack in South Wales.
A club statement read: "We are saddened to learn of the passing of supporter John Vaughan who fell ill at #htafc's game at the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday 21 August 2019.
"John’s family would like to send their sincere thanks to Cardiff City for the help and support they provided him."
Fans were quick to pay tribute to Mr Vaughan on social media.
A Cardiff City statement read: "We offer our sincere condolences to John's family and friends. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time."
A spokesperson for South Wales Police said after the incident: "Shortly before 10pm on Wednesday emergency services were called after a 62-year-old man from the Bromsgrove area was taken ill on Sloper Road following the Cardiff City football match against Huddersfield.
"The man was taken the the University Hospital for Wales where his condition is described as stable."
A spokesperson for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: "We were called on August 21 at approximately 9.49pm to reports of a medical emergency on Sloper Road, Cardiff.
"We responded with one rapid response vehicle, one emergency ambulance, and the crew were supported by two BASICS doctors."
