There was a similar death in South Africa last week and now this, here in the UK. Such sad news and it keeps on happening.
A young footballer has died after collapsing during a pre-season friendly with the Kent side he was hoping to join. 23-year-old Junior Dian collapsed suddenly during a trial match for Tonbridge Angels in Surrey last night. Attempts to revive him on the pitch were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead in hospital in London this morning. The club's chaplain Neil Durling says it's important for everyone to come together. More on this at 1.10 and 6.30 BBC1.
