Jiang Tao death

On 10 March 2004, while in an evening training session at the Jurong Stadium, Jiang Tao was struck by lightning and collapsed. His teammates even tried to revive him but to no avail. The 18-year old was pronounced dead by medical personnel 10 minutes after the incident. As a tribute, all the S.League fixtures that week were started with one minute's silence beforehand and his family were given a solatium of 600,000 yuan by the Football Association of Singapore. The Singapore government also launched a fundraiser to support Jiang's parents and all the money generated from Sinchi FC's game tickets that week were given to them.

The former player's body was cremated on 15 March 2004
