A 25-year-old Bank of America employee has died of a suspected cardiac arrest while playing soccer at a company event Thursday night.

Adnan Deumic, who was based at the bank’s London office, passed away after he collapsed during a charity soccer tournament with other finance employees.

Bank of America confirmed his death to FOX Business.

“The death of our teammate is a tragedy, and we are shocked by the sudden loss of a popular, young colleague,” a Bank of America spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

“We are committed to providing our full support to Adnan’s family, his friends and to our many employees grieving his loss,” the spokesperson added.

FOX Business reports:

Deumic, 25, was based in the United Kingdom and had been with the organization as a credit portfolio and algorithmic trader since July 2022, according to his Linkedin profile.

His death comes just a couple weeks after Leo Lukenas, 35, who was in the bank’s investment banking group in New York City, died of an acute coronary artery thrombus, according to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The 35-year-old had been working more than 100 hours a week and wanted to leave his job at the time of his death, a recruiter who talked to him about a new job told Reuters.

Lukenas, a former Green Beret, is survived by his wife and two children.

From the New York Post:

Unlike Lukenas, Deumic worked closer to 60 hours a week – but his shift was highly stressful, another source with direct knowledge told The Post.

He was involved in trades worth as much as $1 billion some days despite his lack of experience, the person said.

“He probably worked 11 to 12 hours a day and those hours were incredibly intense… he didn’t have time to get coffee,” the source said.

“The stress he was under was so much more than any of the other analysts… and he couldn’t take a day off. He was learning to do this all when he was very new to the job.”

Before his tragic death, Deumic seemed to be the picture of health, running a marathon in Spain last month and had played hockey in high school.

However, his affable nature hid a growing displeasure with the bank, the source said.

The “abysmal” management didn’t treat him well or give him the bonus or the affirmation he deserved, according to the insider.

According to the New York Post, Deumic’s primary motivation was to make enough money to move back to Sweden to be closer to his family, friends, and girlfriend.
