A doctor has urged everybody to receive their Covid-19 vaccine if they are able after one of her patients died of the virus.
News of 34-year-old Matthew Keenan's death broke earlier this week, and tributes to the Bradford dad have poured in.
Matthew, who was a "self-confessed vaccine skeptic", was first admitted to hospital earlier in the month after contracting the virus.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Leanne Cheyne - a senior doctor treating Matthew - posted a picture of him receiving oxygen soon after.
Alongside the photo, she wrote: "Matthew, has agreed for me to share his story.
"34, footie coach & dad.
"Self-confessed vaccine skeptic until he caught Covid,if he could turn back time he would.
"Our sickest patients are unvaccinated & under 40."
Tributes have now come in from Matthew's friends and coworkers.
A spokesman for the Bradford Sunday Alliance Football League said: "Wow a shock this morning, waking up to the devastating news that Matthew Keenan has passed away.
"Such a top lad gone too soon.
"Respected by everyone.
"My heart goes out to all his family at this sad time RIP big man and sleep tight."
