Samuel Dilas, a 24-year-old pivot of Lumezzane basketball, a national Serie B team from Brescia, died in hospital in Brescia after falling ill on Friday.
The young man, born in Varese and raised as a basketball player in Reggio Emilia, had been hospitalized in recent weeks for pneumonia. After being discharged he was again hospitalized in very serious conditions in the intensive care unit due to illness, apparently due to several blood clots that had spread throughout his body . The Lumezzane basketball team announced the death, having requested and obtained the postponement of today's championship match. “We are deeply saddened and shocked,” explains the Brescia company.
In his career Dilas had also made his debut in A2 in the ranks of Forlì. His condition had already appeared desperate on Saturday and the family had asked for maximum confidentiality in a dramatic moment.
