Jelovac felt unwell during AEK's training session on November 14 and was transferred to the hospital.

The 32-year-old Serbian forward had strong malaise and fainting tendencies during his team's training session, where he suffered a stroke from which he never recovered.

Jelovac, as the doctors had emphasized from the first moment, was in critical condition due to a brain hemorrhage, but he didn't manage to wake up from the coma. Doctors were waiting for him to respond, even tried to resuscitate him twice, to no avail.

His condition remained critical in the next several days until his family decided that he be transferred to his home country Serbia.

There, he was ruled brain dead and his family decided to stop the life support that kept him alive for almost three weeks.
