N2  - We report a case of sudden death in an 18-year-old man who collapsed after falling prone onto a football. Although no external evidence of injury or cardiac contusion was noted, a right atrial endocardial tear extending through the conduction system was found at autopsy. This was thought to be responsible for his death and to explain the transient appearance of third-degree heart block during resuscitation.    Keywords: American football;
