A former Hong Kong swimmer and aspiring TV actor is fighting for his life after falling into a coma while playing football with friends on Wednesday night.

Dickson Yu Tak-shing, who was considered a fringe member of the Hong Kong swimming squad in 2015, complained of feeling unwell during the kickabout. The 28-year-old rested on the grass by the playing pitch at Sai Ying Pun before friends called an ambulance when he appeared to have lost consciousness.
