Astori, Fiorentina’s press release on tragic news

This morning the Serie A community was shocked by the stunning news of Davide Astori’s death. Fiorentina issued a statement to the journalists present outside the team’s hotel in Udine:”He didn’t show up at the team breakfast at 930, he was usually the first one there- Arturo Mastronardi explained- so we went to check. Davide slept alone. The reasons for what happened aren’t yet known. The magistrate came here and the body was taken to the hospital for the autopsy that I think will take place today. We don’t have other details, Sportiello was the last one to see him. Some players have a single room, others a double. The family has yet to arrive here, they were made aware by the club, his partner is on Florence with their daughter. The parents should be in Bergamo, they were told on the phone. Now the team will return to Florence in the afternoon. Someone from management could arrive in Udine. Antognoni is here with the staff, at the moment no press conference is scheduled”
