Antonio De Nigris Passes Away at 31

After suffering a heart attack late Sunday night, Antonio De Nigris, striker for Greek club AE Larissa and former Mexican international, passed away at the young age of 31. De Nigris had a nomadic career all over South America and Europe, and made 16 appearances for El Tri, scoring 4 goals. His most memorable moment in the green shirt was a screamer scored against Brazil in his first international match. He was working hard to earn another call up for the national team.
“The Larissa family mourns from today the tragic loss of 31-year-old international Mexican footballer, Antonio De Nigris,” a club statement said. “It is with deep sorrow that the administration, technical leadership, players and executives of the club would like to express their condolences to his family, particularly his spouse Sonia and five-year-old daughter Miranda.”
“An autopsy will be held at the General Academic Hospital in Larissa to determine the precise reasons of his death.”
