"Situation is grim" is how the prognosis is being translated. I hope he survives and regains consciousness.
Heat stroke is suspected.

Indeed very sad. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Really sad news. It sounds as if he's on mechanical life support. I wonder what caused it. Some athletes get cardiomegaly or arrhythmia.

Based on the few facts in this article, I'm just hoping he survives.

I hope he gets better soon. Matsuda was a good player. Sadly his career is over - I cant see doctors recommending a heart attack victim to return to pro sport.

Wishing him a full recovery!

Yowza... anything to do with the heat? Take care, Matsuda.
