    Very sad and particularly perplexing after learning how thorough the Italians are with screening youth players for heart defects.

    Very sad indeed. I'm very curious as to what caused the cardiac arrest, because as Mo stated every Italian athlete is tested for heart disease and abnormalities. Although I was very confused about the initial news reports, several stories said he died of a heart attack...which is not the same thing as cardiac arrest.

    Wow, the tragedy is even greater when you read this article. Morosini had a difficult life. From an interview with him.


    Article goes on to say the cause of death is still unknown.

    Very tragic news. As someone who is also 25, it's a little hard to process especially an athlete that is in much better shape than me. Really makes you stop and think.
