Marvin Morgan (pictured) was a former footballer who also founded ‘Fresh Ego Kid,’ a fashion brand. He died on March 38.
Ms Fletcher cried: “I received a phone call on Monday saying that Marvin had suddenly fallen and died.” Marvin wasn’t in the UK that day, but he was visiting one of his clothing factories, getting ready for the next season.
“We were together for fourteen years and I am heartbroken.” His death remains a mystery. We are not privy to all details and it is something I have yet to accept. This is very difficult. Marvin was loved by many.
With their 7-year-old son, the couple lived in Hertfordshire together.
An aunt of Ms Fletcher said: “Marvin was known to have cavernoma. But he had a positive outlook on it. He did a lot for others with it.
“A lot of people loved and missed him. He loved his family, was full of energy and had huge dreams for his label. Our hearts are broken. While we are not sure of the cause of his sudden death, we know that it was an unexpected event.
Marvin had to be on medication his entire life because he was diagnosed with cavernoma, a group of abnormal blood vessels usually located in the spinal cord or brain. They can cause strokes, seizures and, in extreme cases, death prematurely.
He was a footballer who played for 17 teams, but his best moments were at Aldershot Town or Shrewsbury Town. After falling ill during training with Plymouth Argyle, he returned to the game.
Morgan was seen in 2019 as Hornchurch’s player. Morgan was well-known because of his fashion design work.
Marvin’s condition was first revealed in 2018. He described how he nearly died after collapsing two times in one day during training.
At the time, he said that he was on medication and had a condition called cavernoma. This is due to blood vessels in my brain, and I also have nocturnal seizure. When asked what led him to give up football, he stated that he had suffered a seizure during sleep. He went to training and tried running again. I had a seizure once more while running, and that made it worse.
Morgan was known for his fashion label, ‘Fresh Ego Kid,’ which saw him develop relationships with Premier League players, such as former England captain David Beckham. He was raising awareness about racism and mental health before his passing.
Romelu Lukaku, who described it as ‘s**t news’, posted on his Instagram story: ‘This is some s**t news man… RIP my brother you will be missed.’

Ashley Young, a Villa winger wrote that he was sorry to hear about the tragic news regarding Marv. My words are a bit lost, I thought we had been laughing just the other week. RIP BRO. Declan Rice from West Ham added that Declan was a “very clean-hearted, cheerful, loving, caring person” I am shocked.
Cavernomas, which are abnormally shaped blood vessels clusters found mostly in the brain or spinal cord, is referred to as cavernomas.
These vary in size, from just a few millimetres up to several centimetres.
Each year, one in every 400,000 people are diagnosed with a cavernoma.
These conditions can be passed down through the generations – each child born to someone who has inherited cavernomas will have a 50% chance of inheriting it.
Nine of ten cases cannot be inherited. On average, diagnosis occurs at 40 years.
These symptoms include strokes, seizures, weakness, slurred communication, numbness and migraines.
