MADRID (AP) -Spanish news agency Efe has reported that a 21-year-old Spanish football player has died from heart failure suffered after a training session.

Luis Miguel Lastra was found late Friday in the stairwell of his home following practice with his club Ciudad Jardin, of the Andalucia first division in a regional league.

Ciudad Jardin president Jose Bonilla told Efe the player's death was "natural, as a result of heart failure."

Lastra's death follows deaths of other Spanish football players from heart-related problems in recent years, including Espanyol captain Daniel Jarque and Sevilla's Antonio Puerta.

Great acting!

Clearly, the Oscar will go to the wrong guy. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, best actor? Pah! What about Dani Alves or Bryan Carrasco?
