Piet Dumortier (9 November 1915 - 5 April 1945) was a Dutch footballer.[1] He played in one match for the Netherlands national football team in 1938.[2]
He played for the Utrecht club VV DOS between 1930 and 1944.[3]
Dumortier married at Utrecht City Hall in 1944 Everdina Abrahamse.[3]
Dumortier became proprietor of a cigar shop in Utrecht. He died during a bombing raid at the end of the Second World War, and shortly before his city was liberated from German occupation, when he was being hospitalised for diphtheria - during the raid the Germans allegedly turned off the electricity (by other accounts a power failure) which cut power to his iron lung. He is buried at the Tolsteeg Cemetery.[3]
