His wife and two children were not hurt in the accident. He was in a coma for nearly three months, before he died in Bagdasar Arseni Hospital-Bucharest on 9 December 2008, aged 36. He was buried in Hârşova, Romania on 10 December.

Reactions

Bogdan Lobonţ: "I cannot believe it! I had hoped that Dossey's medical condition would improve. I am sad, Romanian football has lost a valuable goalkeeper. God rest his soul!"

Tedy Dragomir (the owner of Playboy): "We are deeply pained by this, I cannot believe it. We tried so hard in order to make him well. We had almost collected all the money needed for his treatment."

Ioan Neculaie (the owner of FC Brașov): "I met Dossey only as a player for the club I own, but I can say about him that I never heard anyone saying bad things about him. His character was an example. It is unbelievable."
