Death of a young man from the MHSC, the Paillade in mourning

Montpellier HSC mourns the disappearance of Mickaël Virad. The young goalkeeper in a coma since 2019 died at the age of 20.

Montpellier Hérault SC paid tribute to Mickaël Virad who died on Monday after four years in a coma. “The MHSC was sad to learn of the loss of one of its former young players from the training center, Mickaël Virad. Our thoughts go out to his parents and his sister Leïla, to his family and friends, his former teammates and coaches. »can we read in a press release from the residents of the Mosson.

Arrived in 2018 at La Paillade from Reunion, Mickaël Virad suffered a cardiac arrest in February 2019, shortly after contracting gastroenteritis. An accident that had plunged the young goalkeeper into a vegetative state.

His family had then fought and denounced “serious shortcomings during his treatment at the hospital” thus hoping that justice be done”. Mickaël Virad’s family lawyer then put forward the thesis of “medical error” with the French regional daily Midi Libre.
