The 28-year-old midfielder collapsed during the Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia at Lyon on June 26 and was pronounced dead after 45 minutes of sustained attempts to resuscitate him.

An initial autopsy failed to determine the exact cause of death and the second has ruled out the likelihood he had any stimulants in his body.
