2nd Belgian player dies of heart attack in two weeks
Print Edition
BELGIAN lower-league defender Tim Nicot, 23, died yesterday after suffering a heart attack during a friendly on Saturday, the second such death in Belgium in two weeks.
In an incident likely to increase calls for more cardiac screening of young players, Antwerp club Beerschot Wilrijk said Nicot died in hospital after collapsing at a postseason tournament following its promotion to the third division. On April 30, former under-21 international defender Gregory Mertens, 24, died three days after his heart stopped during a reserve game for top-flight Lokeren at Racing Genk. “Far too soon, far too young,” Beerschot said in a statement on Nicot’s death after doctors had put him into an artificial coma.
