Sevilla midfielder Antonio Puerta, passed away on the 28th of August, just three days after he collapsed during a football match between Sevilla and Getafe.
The player was due to become a father for the first time in around a month and a half.
'The death was caused by postanoxic encephalopathy and a multiple failure of his organs caused by the prolonged cardiac arrest that provoked his admission to hospital,' the hospital said in a statement.
Antonio Puerta was only 22 years old when he passed away, a tragedy indeed.
A tribute to one of Spain's most promising young footballers:
