Tragedy struck at a local football match when a young player collapsed and later died at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.
The player, thought to be in his mid-20s, was a member of a Bow football team that was playing at home to Thorverton.
It is understood he collapsed during the game. He has not yet been named.
The player was given CPR and the Devon Air Ambulance was called in. He was flown to the RD&E but died later.
It is thought he may have suffered a heart attack.
The game, in the premier division of the Devon & Exeter League on Saturday, was abandoned after 80 minutes.
