Death while sporting could be due to many reasons, of which sudden death due to cardiac cause has a major share. Injuries involving the Central Nervous system and spine have a high morbidity and mortality. Injuries may vary from a very minimal scratch to an injury that can cause death. Most injuries in sports are non fatal, but injuries to vital organs can be fatal. The dynamics involved in the sport plays a major role in the injury and related mortality. One such case of field hockey death of a young individual is discussed here.
