SAO PAULO (AP) — A futsal player has died during a match in Brazil after a piece of the court's wooden floor came off and struck him in the abdomen.
Globo's G1 Web site says 23-year-old Robson Rocha Costa died of hemorrhagic shock Sunday, a day after the accident in a friendly match in southern Brazil.
Witnesses say Costa was hurt after a sliding play near the end line.
A small piece of the court apparently came off as he was sliding, initially hitting his thigh and then making it to his intestines.
Costa was immediately taken to a hospital and underwent surgery, but succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities said they would investigate the circumstances of the accident.
