David Astori died because of tachycardia - he could have been saved if someone had been around.

Defender Fiorentina David Astori died on March 4 in a hotel room the day before the game against Udinese.

Medexpertiza found that the cause of the death of Captain Fiorentina David Astori was not bradycardia (slowing the work of the heart), but rather - tachycardia. This is reported by Corriere della Sera.

David could have been saved if someone were nearby and called for help.

Presumably, David was alone in the hotel room as a team captain.

In Italy, a series of measures have been taken to perpetuate the memory of David Astori. So, among other things, in his honor will be renamed the Fair Play award.
