I just read this on Facebook. She was a part of the women's basketball national youth team. Last Friday on training she passed out and was not able to revive her. Such a young soul to leave the world. May her soul rest in peace.

Oh! We are hearing more and more such cases of youngsters who seem so fit and fine collapsing and passing away. There was one similar incident of a Chinese badminton player dying on court. All these cases were of cardiac arrest, this one sounds the same.

Yes, they said it's cardiac arrest as well. To think they are fit because they have regular trainings

@rakski Yes, it seems all fit and fine from outside. Recent studies shows that overdoing physical sterneous exercises and even following a very strict diet regime can increase the risk of cardiac arrests in youth. It's rightly said thar excess of anything is bad.

@arunima25 that can be true. We should have everything in moderation

That's very, very sad. That happened to my cousin's grandson. Just collapsed after football training and passed away.

May her soul rest in peace. This reminded me of my co-teacher back in the early 2000s. She just suddenly became unconscious during our meeting and was never revived.
