Livorno midfielder Piermario Morosini collapsed and died during his side's Serie B meeting with Pescara at the Stadio Adriatico on Saturday.
The 25-year-old fell to the ground in the 33th minute with medical staff immediately running onto the pitch with cardiac massage being performed on the player.
The game was abandoned and Morosini left the stadium in an ambulance, slipping into a pharmacological coma before passing away.
The incident comes only a month after Bolton's Fabrice Muamba collapsed during an FA Cup game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane, with the midfielder now recovering after having to fight for his life.
Puerta Bonita defender Sergio Granero survived a heart attack the day after the Muamba ordeal during a match in Spain's third division against Pozuela.
