    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, Aug 16: <\/strong>A cricket umpire has died a month after he was hit on the head by a ball during an amateur match in the UK. According to a BBC Sport report, John Williams, 80, from Hundleton, Pembrokeshire, was struck with a ball while he was officiating a Pembrokeshire County Division 2 match between Pembroke and Narbeth on July 13.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was then flown to a hospital in Cardiff where he was placed in an induced coma. He was then transferred to another hospital in Haverfordwest on August 1 where he passed away two weeks later.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pembrokeshire Cricket on Thursday shared the information on their Twitter handle: &quot;Sad news this morning regarding umpire John Williams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;John passed away this morning with his family at his bedside. Thoughts of all of Pembrokeshire Cricket are with Hilary and the boys at this difficult and sad time.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Robert Simons from Narberth Cricket Club, who was the other umpire officiating during the match, said: &quot;I was officiating as the other umpire... It was traumatic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He was a grand gentleman, truly a gent from a cricketing point of view, and he gave up a tremendous amount of his time for the sport.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
