A vigil was held outside of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in the US state of Ohio on Tuesday night, the hospital where Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills safety, has been in critical condition since Monday night.

He was taken there after he collapsed while going into cardiac arrest after making what appeared to be a routine tackle during a Monday night football game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals.
