By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Guatemalan football player Marcos Menaldo died on Monday morning after collapsing during his team’s training session at la Marquesa de la Ensenada Stadium in San Marcos.

According to sources in Guatemala, Menaldo, who just turned 25 in December, was training with his team Marquense, the First Division champs, when he collapsed due to a heart attack.

Menaldo was rushed to a hospital, but he passed away.

Menaldo’s death happened in similar fashion to Marc-Vivien Foé, a Cameroon player who died during the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup.

On June 26, 2003, Foé collapsed in the 72nd minute in the Cameroon match against Colombia. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful and Foé died at the Stade de Gerland medical center.
