10 Sports Deaths That Were Caught On Tape

9. Piermario Morosini Dies Playing Football For Livorno

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgjhe-xe7PA Piermario Morosini was an Italian footballer and his life was a tragic one. Both of his parents died before he was 18 and his older brother, who had a disability, committed suicide. That left Morosini alone to care for his handicapped sister. Despite his tragic upbringing, Morosini rose through the ranks of Italian football, making it all the way to Serie A, which is the highest ranking in Italian soccer. Morosini was on loan from Udinese and playing midfield for Livorno. On April 14 2012, Livorno was playing Pescara in a Serie B match. At the 31 minute mark of the match, 25-year-old Piermario collapsed on the field. He was taken to the hospital, but he was never revived. It was originally thought that he had a heart attack, but an autopsy proved the cause of death inconclusive. After his death, Udinese pledged to take care of Piermario's sister.
