Davide Astori, the 31-year-old
Fiorentina captain found dead in his Udine hotel room ahead of a
game with Udinese, probably died of natural causes, an autopsy
said Tuesday.
Astori died of "cardiac death without macroscopic evidence,
likely on a bradirhythmic basis," as if his heart slowed down
and stopped, the autopsy found.
The autopsy was carried out by the head of Padua University's
Centre of Vascula Pathology, Gaetano Thiene, and by Udine
University medicial examiner Carlo Moreschi.
Prosecutors signed a release order restoring Astori's body to
his family.
