Soccer Player Gets Carded For Fatal Heart Attack - Croatia - Deadspin

Welp, diving in soccer now has its "boy who cried wolf" moment. A Croatian player received a yellow card when he collapsed because the ref thought he was faking. He wasn't. He was dead. Goran Tunjic was a 32 year old defender for Mladost FC, a team in the fifth tier of Croatian soccer.

In the 35th minute of a match this weekend, he simply fell to the pitch. The referee approached him with a yellow card in hand. Great. The one time in all of recorded history they try to enforce the penalty against diving.

Doctors tried to help him but there was nothing they could do," said a club spokesman. "He just fell dead on the spot."
