English version

În urma unui șoc cardio-gen s-a prăbuşit pe teren în minutul 69 al meciului din ultima etapă a play-off-ului, Dinamo - Viitorul, la doar 7 minute după ce intrase pe teren. A primit imediat îngrijiri la nivelul gazonului, însă a rămas inconştient fiind urcat în ambulanţă după aproximativ patru minute şi dus la apropiatul Spital Floreasca. Medicii au încercat să-l resusciteze peste 80 de minute, fără succes însă.

On 6 May 2016, Ekeng came on as a second-half substitute in a televised match against FC Viitorul. After 70 minutes, with his team leading 3–2, he collapsed. He was transported and resuscitated at the hospital, and within two hours the medical staff confirmed that he had died; he was 26 years old. According to Romanian broadcaster Digi Sport, there was no resuscitation kit/equipment in the ambulance that transported Ekeng to the hospital, one minute away, but instead cardiac massage was performed.
