A Moroccan former footballer leapt to his death while performing a daredevil jump whilst on a family holiday in Spain.

Media reports identified the man as 31-year-old Murad Lamrabette, who played for Dutch club SBV Vitesse’s U23 team in the 2010/2011 Eredivisie season, as well as other professional football clubs in Holland.

Lamrabette died in front of his two children and wife, who filmed him as he attempted to perform a stunt from a 30-metre high cliff during the family’s vacation in Majorca.

The 31-year-old miscalculated his jump, and drowned after hitting a rock and falling into the water below unconscious, according to reports.

His wife could be heard shouting “oh my god” as she recorded the stunt in a 14-second video that later went viral across social media and news platforms.

Spanish authorities carried out an autopsy, the results of which indicated that Lamrabatte died from drowning, rather than injuries caused by the impact of hitting the rock.

Reports added that authorities had yet to interview his wife as she was too traumatised by the incident. After retiring from football, Lamrabatte retrained and became a kickboxing coach. — arabnews.com
