Sad to hear. RIP. The cops need to arrest the murderers and sentence them to either life in prison or the death penalty.

 

American Chauncey Hardy killed in Romania

At least the AP had a more appropriate title.

 

Update:

BUCHAREST, Romania -- A 25-year-old Romanian man has been taken into custody and is being accused by police of attacking former Sacred Heart University basketball player Chauncey Hardy, who died Saturday from repeated blows to the head after an incident at a Romanian bar.

Romanian Basketball Federation chief Carmen Tocala told GSP radio that Hardy died Sunday, suffering two heart attacks following his beating Saturday night.

Police spokeswoman Mirela Gheta said the 23-year-old Hardy had severe head injuries and was in a coma when he was admitted to the hospital. Hardy died shortly after undergoing surgery in a Bucharest hospital.

 

RIP bro, hopefully more will come out in the coming days as to what this situation was all about.

 

We already know what it was all about.

 

Did some research and found this.

Figures it would be some event like this centered around a woman. Gotta be careful flying solo in a foreign country and culture. Never know who you are dealing with.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) – A man was arrested Monday in the killing of Chauncey Hardy, a former basketball player at Sacred Heart in Connecticut who prosecutors say was punched in the face by the boyfriend of a woman Hardy was with in a bar.

Ionut Adrian Tanasoaia surrendered to police and will be in custody for 29 days while he awaits trial. He is accused of beating up Hardy in a bar in the southern Romanian city of Giurgiu on Saturday night.

Hardy died shortly after surgery Sunday in Bucharest. The 23-year-old player sustained severe head injuries and was in a coma when admitted to the hospital in Giurgiu, where he played for CSS Giurgiu and was celebrating a victory over rival Dinamo Bucharest.

Hardy was punched after he playfully put his cap on a woman's head, prosecutors said. They added that the woman's boyfriend objected to the gesture, and Hardy tried to show he didn't understand Romanian. Tanasoaia then allegedly punched Hardy on the chin and he fell to the ground.

A preliminary autopsy revealed a massive hemorrhage and broken skull. Giurgiu county hospital spokeswoman Elisabeta Bene said Monday that doctors initially suspected Hardy was in a coma because he had been drinking. She said his condition deteriorated a few hours later and he was transferred to a hospital in Bucharest, 38 miles from Giurgiu.

"We are concerned by the violent circumstances surrounding the death of this U.S. citizen, and will pay close attention as the investigation progresses," the public diplomacy department of the U.S. Embassy said in an email to The Associated Press.

Romania's health ministry Monday ordered an inquiry to determine whether emergency procedures had been followed.

Hardy, who arrived in Romania in August, was a guard at Sacred Heart from 2006 to 2010. He averaged 12.5 points in his last season.

"This is not just about a basketball player, but the person as well," Sacred Heart coach Dave Bike said in a statement Sunday. "It transcends what happens on a basketball court. We feel tremendous sadness and loss for Chauncey's family and those who were close to him."

 

It is sad on what happened to him. Where are the Romanian members of this site?

Thanks Gnet for the extra info. I wished those guys get long prison terms but,as any Black man knows they will surely get away with murder.

 

Thanks for that post man.

Sounds like he was just out at a club, minding his business and having a good time, like he has before, the likely drunken fool got jealous and the set of events unfolded.

A fucking shame, dude was out enjoying himself and a sucker punch cost him his life.

 

might as well cross the US off your list too while you're at it

stop trippin'

you're more likely to get jacked up or killed walking down your block by some 13 year old after dark, than getting killed in Buckalakamama, Romania
