On 14 April 2012, while representing Livorno, Morosini suffered a cardiac arrest and fell to the ground in the 31st minute of the Serie B match against Pescara.[2] He unsuccessfully tried to get up before receiving medical attention in the field.[3] A defibrillator was used on Morosini, who was conscious when he was taken on the stretcher.[4] The News agency ANSA reported that a police car was blocking the stadium's exit for the ambulance for nearly a minute, but a heart specialist said that the delay made no difference.[5] After Morosini was taken to the hospital, the match was abandoned with Livorno leading 2-0, and some players reportedly "left the field in tears".[6][7]
Morosini was rushed to the Santo Spirito hospital, but reports later indicated he died at the hospital.[8][9] Italian media reports were alerted of Morosini's death after an "explosion of shouts and tears" by his team-mates who had gone to the hospital.[10] All of the Italian football league matches for the weekend were suspended.[11] When the matches are renewed, it will be ask for the teams to give a minute of silence for the death of Morosini, and each player will carry a black bracelet in his memory.[12]
