Partner of Marvin Morgan says he died at Fresh Ego Kid trip

Marvin Morgan, who grew up in Watford and played for 17 clubs during his football career, died at the age of 38 at the weekend.

His cause of death has not yet been revealed, but he had been diagnosed with a cavernoma in the past - a cluster of abnormal blood vessels that are usually found in the brain or spinal cord - after suffering a seizure while training with Plymouth Argyle.

Now Jerri Fletcher, 36, who has been with Morgan for 14 years has revealed that the designer was visiting a factory outside of the UK that made clothes for his brand, ‘Fresh Ego Kid’, when he collapsed.

Talking to the Daily Mail, the grieving partner said: “I got a call early on Monday morning saying that he suddenly collapsed and died.

“Marvin was not in the UK at the time, he was away visiting one of the factories that makes his clothes, preparing for the new season.

“We were together for 14 years and I'm heart broken. We don't know the full details of what caused his death and I'm not even able to process this news so don't want. to say too much. It's very painful. Marvin was a much-loved man.”

The couple lived locally with their seven-year-old son.

Cavernoma can often cause seizures and strokes, and in very severe cases can lead to death.

Morgan is said to have been on medication for life, but a relative of Ms Fletcher said that Morgan was “very positive” about his condition and was “doing a lot to help other people” and raise awareness.

He discovered his condition in while training with Plymouth Argyle, when he suffered a seizure at one night which caused haemorrhaging, and then collapsed twice the day after while training.

Due to the severity of the condition, Morgan had to quit playing football fulltime.
