Most of you will have no clue as to who Antonio Puerta is. Let me tell you. Antonio Puerta is a player for Sevilla football club and the Spanish national team. He is 22-years-old and he won’t be getting older either as he passed away today after five (5!!!) heart attacks. This past weekend he played for Sevilla against Getafe and after 35 minutes collapsed on the field. This was what turns out to be his first heart attack. Amazingly, after treatment, he walked off the field himself. However, in the locker room he became unwell again and had antoher heart attack. Three more followed and he was kept in a coma to try and stabilise the situation. Unfortunately to no avail. R.I.P. Antonio Puerta.

Sad loss, to die at such a young age. According to the press in Spain he had a big future ahead of him.
Just shows you, no matter how young and how fit you never know what’s round the corner. Live for the moment. RIP Antonio.
We are all shocked in Spain to tell you the truth. Especially knowing he was 22, with a great future ahead and his girlfriend being 8 months pregnant. How very sad.
rip Antonio.
This is more common than you think with elite athletes. He didnt have the traditional “heart attack” like two pack a day, hamburger eating grandpa, but rather his enlarged heart beat too fast. Really sad.
Una muestra mas de que hay gente que se muere en la raya…textualmente
According to press he actually had 9 heart attacks.
Terrible news, looked a very good player.
RIP Antonio.
aunque los recuerdos de sus grandes momentos serán recordados simpre, es una lástima…
RIP Antonio.
