Only 27 years old, such a tragedy. Just signed to some Quatari club for £10 Million IIRC.

R.I.P

Was originially reported as a car crash but they appear to have removed this so you could be right Admins feel free to edit thread title.

The BBC originally reported that he had died in a car accident. Now they don't mention the cause and other websites are reporting complications from appendicitis.

The name rings a bell but I couldn't place him. Must be from his time at Birmingham. Very sad news - just 27. Tragic.

It's now being reported he died of a heart attack. Sad news and if thats the cause of death another one from the sport to go that way...
