Elia Alessandrini dead aged 25: Swiss professional football star dies suddenly in pool tragedy

Swiss professional footballer Elia Alessandrini, aged 25, died on Friday December 16th, 2022 in a swimming pool while on vacation with his girlfriend in Oman. He dove but didn't resurface.

Considering the known facts that Elia was a professional athlete in a swimming pool with other people present, a medical incident seems to be the only plausible explanation for his sudden death. The most likely proximate causes are cardiac arrhythmia, blood clot to heart or brain, or ruptured aneurysm.

If any of these turn out to be true, the next question would be: What caused the cause that led to his sudden death?

Swiss news media Blick writes (translated from German):

"As Blick learns from the immediate vicinity of the deceased, the tragedy happens in the presence of his girlfriend while swimming and diving in the pool, a few hours before the planned trip home to Switzerland. Alessandrini no longer resurfaces, any medical help – also in the hospital – is too late. The exact cause of death is not yet known."

20 Minutes Switzerland writes (translated from German):

"According to consistent media reports, the man from Bern died in a swimming pool accident while on vacation. A cardiac arrest in the water, is written. A message from the Swiss Football League (SFL) is consistent with this information."
