He probably had a heart disease - not a cardiovascular one, like the one old people with hypertension and diabetes have, but a congenital one, one he was born with it. Perhaps it was not so bad - so it enabled him to become and athlete - but one day it was too much. It can be something involving the cardiac muscle itself, the arteries, the cardiac valves, or the eletric cycle the heart goes for every beat.

Or it could be the force of the ball striking him on his chest and working as an eletric current that shut down his heart - like when someone is dying and you give him a shock to revive his heart, only on hearts that are beating normally it can backfire and make the heart stop - I think this happened in one or two occasions before in soccer.

Well, you asked. Sorry for the long answer. I hope it helped somehow.

Era pra ser uma pergunta retórica. Mas conhecimento nunca é demais!

:P But you asked! ;) XD

Eu achei que fosse retórica, mas tb nao cabia uma resposta de brincadeira tendo em visto o fato. ;)
