heart defect.. some people are born with weak hearts. my sister has a reallyyyy weak heart but she works out and looks healthy but (God forbid) she could probably have a heart attack and die any day.
my Dad died of a heart attack but he was healthy. it happens. it's very sad. thats why this has really hit me hard.

There are a lot of reasons and instances where healthy people have Mi's (Miocardiac Infarction). Runners have been know to have problems whether it is a MI or another Cardiac problem such as a ruptured aorta. This is usually caused by a defect in the persons anatomy. A Heretical problem or defect. For more information check out the American Heart Association or talk to your doctor.

It is not unusual for athletes to have oversized hearts to handle the extra work load. That's not a problem by itsef, but a little heart flaw can kill!
It often happens in other sports like basketball & American football too. Heart troubles often are not diagnosed until too late, when a sudden heart attack exposes it.

Sometimes heart problems and defects hide themselves well. Sometimes they go undetected in the young as its not expected to be an issue. I cried when I read articles about this. What a tragic event for one so young and those that loved and cared for him. I have a son this age and I cannot imagine what his family are going through right now. God bless them all and Antonio also. My heart is breaking for his partner and unborn child.
Take care of yourselves guys, life is precious!

Yeah it's crazy. The first time I saw him play was the UEFA Cup win recently. Heart attack at 22. Life is strange.

sometimes young or apparently very fit people do have heart attacks; it is something that might not show on the outside, but they must have some kind of bodily and/or heart weakness for it to happen.

It has happened before to young American football players, and usually it was because they had taken performance enhancing drugs. I really hope that's not the case, but you have to consider the possibility.
