Croatian football player Goran Tunjic had a heart attack, collapsed on the field and died in the 35th minute of a match for Mladost FC against Hrvatski Sokol this weekend. One might think that would have been his final indignity.
Alas, no. Tunjic was given a yellow card for diving ... as he lay dying.
Paramedics tried to revive the 32-year-old part-time soccer player once the referee realized the player wasn't faking it, but by then the damage was done.
"It was 35th minute of the match when we've simply noticed he has fallen down," a club official told reporters. "Doctors have tried to help him, but there was nothing they could do."
"He just fell dead on the spot."
Coaches said Tunjic, who was the son of local legend player, official and referee Cibalia Tunji_, had never had any health issues in the past that they were aware of.
Mladost is a county-level team representing the small town of Su_uraj on the island of Hvar.
