A father’s £12,000 Rolex disappeared after he collapsed and died at a West Ham football match following CPR, his heartbroken son has claimed. 

Jay Gray took to social media to tell of the traumatic ordeal at the sporting match on Monday evening, which saw his elderly father suddenly fall down. 

But while he was carried upstairs from his seat to undergo CPR, the man’s watch seemingly vanished, his son claimed. 

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Gray said: ‘My dad unfortunately collapsed and passed away at the [West Ham] game last Monday night.

‘He had to be carried upstairs from his seat in block 123 to be able to have CPR performed on him, his watch went missing when he was moved and we desperately want it back.’ 

Photographs posted by Mr Gray show him posing for a selfie with his football mad father at the stadium, before tragedy struck.

Many commented on Mr Gray’s post, which has gone viral, to pay their respects to his father. 

One person wrote: ‘I am so desperately sorry to hear this tragic news. I am the woman sitting behind you who helped support his head and turn him to his side. 

‘Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I did not see the watch but it could easily have come off due to the manner in which he was carried.’ 

Another said: ‘So sorry for your loss, and sending love and condolences to you and your family.’

MailOnline has contacted West Ham FC and Mr Gray for comment.
