An autopsy has revealed that Argentine footballer Micael Favre died during a game as a result of a pre-existing heart condition not the initially reported head blow.
Favre was playing in the Colon Departmental League in the province of Entre Rios when he collapsed following a sickening knee to the face in a collision.
The coroner's report, however, ruled out the impact of the clash as a cause of death.
According to the Oro Verde morgue's preliminary report, Favre's passing was attributed to a cardiac problem that had not been diagnosed, which could exonerate two Defensores players connected with the incident.
Favre had tripped during play and fallen into his opponent's knee. After rising to his feet to protest another Defensores player knocked him to the ground again with a punch, and the deceased was unable to stand again.
The 24-year-old San Jorge player was taken to hospital immediately, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The pair involved, Fabio Larrosa and Geronimo Quintana, had been taken to a nearby police station for identification, but were not held in connection with the player's death.
