It happens alot more in sport these days (or at least its more documented). Happened to a 13 year old kid a few years back that lived in the same town as me. Have heard other numerous cases over the past few years in various sports.

Always find it extremely sad to hear something like that. Only thing you can do to try to prevent it is have the right medical equipment on hand (defibrillator, etc).

Something like this happened to a friend of my cousin.
She was playing Netball with some of her friends and she just collapsed and died.

Very sad :boohoo:R.I.P.

It's seems as if their have been way too many players losing their lives to early lately!!!

Rest in peace!

It's ridiculous how quickly one can pass away. It scares the hell out of me personally.
