The former midfielder of Juventus, Cagliari and Perugia as well as the Uruguay national team, Fabian O'Neill, has passed away at the age of 49.
The news was reported by the Italian media, as they had earlier reported that he was hospitalized in intensive care in a very critical condition.
O'Neill had serious health problems caused by his addiction to alcohol, and in recent years he was unemployed, losing all the money he had earned from football.
Even after the end of his career he was addicted to gambling and alcohol, while every time he was caught on camera with many different women.
In recent days there has been intense sadness in Italy, first with the loss of Sinisha Mihajlovic and now with that of O'Neill, while Gianluca Vialli is fighting a long battle with cancer in a London hospital.
