Reuters - Sat, 15 May 17:29:00 2010
Austrian Besian Idrizaj, a striker with Championship team Swansea City, has died at the age of 22.
A club statement reads: "Swansea City can confirm that the agent of young striker Besian Idrizaj has informed the club that the striker has sadly passed away.
"It is understood that the popular 22-year-old died in his sleep on Friday night while at home with his family in Austria.
"The exact cause of death has not been confirmed and our thoughts are with his family, friends and team-mates at this time."
Swansea signed the former Liverpool forward and Austrian Young Player of the Year on a two-year deal in August 2009.
In February 2008, during a loan spell at Wacker Innsbruck, Idrizaj collapsed on the pitch during an Austrian top-flight fixture.
It was first thought he had suffered a heart attack but the problem was later diagnosed as a virus, Swansea said on their website.
