A dying footballer was yellow carded for diving by a referee who was unaware he had suffered a heart attack.
Croatian league player, Goran Tunjic, a 32-year-old defender playing for the Mladost FC, collapsed in the 35th minute of his match against Hrvatski Sokola.
The referee immediately approached the player with the yellow card outstretched in his hand.
Tragically, however, the player had suffered a fatal heart attack.
The official, realising what had happened. called for help, but Tunjic died despite being rushed to hospital.
"Doctors tried to help him but there was nothing they could do," a club spokesman said of the player, who had no previous medical problems.
"He just fell dead on the spot."
