Antonio de Nigris, RIP

I just saw a news report on Goal.com saying that Mexican striker Antonio de Nigris has died on a heart attack yesterday. He was 31. He had played in Turkey and Greece in recent years (his last club was Larissa). Sixteen caps for the Mexican national team.

More later. Wow. RIP.

MORE: A preliminary autopsy has revealed that de Nigris had a genetic defect.  And did "Tano" know about his ailment but keep playing, as his former Turkish club claims?  Larissa denies it.

John Sutcliffe of ESPN Deportes has his own reflections on de Negris.  So too Arellano, Guardado, and Márquez.  A lot more links, photos and videos at ESPN Deportes and Mediotiempo.
