Bet you will never feel as bad as this referee does
Goran Tunjic, a 32-year-old Croatian soccer player, was penalized as he died from a heart attack during a game, according to Eurosport.

The web site reports that a referee imposed a yellow-card diving penalty on the dying athlete as he collapsed to the ground. When the official discovered that Tunjic was suffering a legitimate medical crisis, he reportedly called for medical help.

The Croatian Times reports that the defender collapsed in the 35th minute of the game and died during the match.

1. It sounded as if he responded once he realized the guy was in medical distress
it's really too bad that it happened. Strange, my SO and I were just talking last night about flopping in soccer, and how it's carried over to other sports in the US (hockey, basketball) with the infusion of European players.
