I played club lacrosse in college and we had a guy die of a heart attack at one of our tryouts. He was a division 1 wrestler who had used up his eligibility and decided to try lacrosse. He took himself out of the scrimmage because he was short of breath. Next thing you know, he's out. A couple of guys did CPR for about five minutes until the firemen arrived. They shocked him a couple of times on the field, but he didn't make it. Its really sad. If I remember correctly he had some kind of previously undetected heart condition. Sucks, could happen to anyone though.
