I was thinking commotio cordis at first. I played lacrosse in college. A few years after I graduated, a player on my collegiate team was struck in the chest by a shot. He passed away. That's usually instantaneous to the trauma. If not that, then maybe cardiac tamponade or some sort of other major blood vessel injury?
Thoughts with this young man and his family.
