According to foreign news reports, on June 27, Cameroon local time, former Cameroon international Landry Ngemo died in a car accident at the age of 38.
According to the report, the incident took place in the small town of Obara in central Cameroon. N'Gemo's car was slammed into by a truck, and both he and the driver were killed when the rescue team arrived.
N'Qemo was the youth coach of Ligue 1 side Nancy before his death, and he started his career at Nancy. Defending midfielder, N'Qemo has played for Nancy, Bordeaux and Saint-Etienne, and has also spent a season on loan at Celtic in the Premier League.
In terms of national team, Ngemo made 41 appearances, wearing the number seven shirt in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, making two appearances in total, against the Netherlands in the 10th World Cup and Brazil in the 14th World Cup.

Nguemo was fond of raising eagles during his lifetime, and named one of his favorite sea eagles, Mr. George, after Georges Weah, and in 2007 Ngemo was granted French citizenship.
