Tragically, a teenage Aussie Rules player who suffered cardiac arrest following an injury during a local match in rural Victoria has passed away.
Nathan Prince, aged 17, unfortunately died on Wednesday morning in the hospital surrounded by his family.
It is reported that the teen was moved to palliative care on Tuesday.
Last week, Father Ian Prince mentioned that the family held no blame towards the other player.
The Bacchus Marsh teenager sustained injuries during the qualifying final against North Ballarat City held on August 20.
Friends of the apprentice carpenter have inundated a Facebook page named “Nathan Prince – toughest footballer ever,” created just hours after the match.
“Everyone is profoundly shocked by the loss of such a great friend,” commented Justine Harris.
“It’s incredibly unjust that a wonderful person was taken from us at such a young age. They say only the great die young, and in this case, that’s you. You’ll be missed greatly by a huge number of people who knew what an amazing person you were.”
Charrise Daly remarked on Nathan’s bravery and courage.
“Nathan was, in every possible way, a true warrior,” she expressed.
