August 8, 200916 yr Espanyol stunned by Jarque death Jarque was a product of Espanyol's youth academy Espanyol captain Daniel Jarque has died after he suffered a heart attack following a training session, the club have confirmed in a statement. The 26-year-old midfielder had been training in Coverciano, Italy, where the squad are on a pre-season camp. Club doctors and Italian paramedics tried to revive Jarque without success. His death comes two years after Sevilla defender Antonio Puerta, 22, died of heart failure after collapsing during a Spanish league game. Jarque joined Espanyol at the age of 12, making his debut in 2002, and the Spaniard was handed the club captaincy this summer. "Tragedy struck Espanyol and the family of Dani Jarque this evening. The player died from a cardiac arrest," said a club statement. "The doctor carried out CPR on the player and used a defibrillator, which showed that the arrest was non responsive. "RCD Espanyol, broken with pain, wish to put themselves at the absolute disposition of the family of our captain Dani Jarque, to whom go our warmest thoughts." Espanyol, who had been due to play Bologna tomorrow, have suspended their pre-season tour of Italy and will fly back to Barcelona. The president of city neighbours Barcelona, Joan Laporta, offered his club's condolences. "We are filled with extreme dismay at this tragic event which we deeply regret," he told the Barcelona club website. "Today we are all in mourning. "I want to send, on behalf of FC Barcelona, our deepest sympathies to RCD Espanyol for the painful loss of their captain Dani Jarque, and to his family." ----------------- El defensa del RCD Espanyol Dani Jarque ha fallecido de forma repentina mientras se encontraba en la concentración del club blanquiazul en tierras italianas El jugador se encontraba en el hotel de concentración con su equipo, en la localidad italiana de Coverciano, y viendo que no bajaba a la cena, su compañero de habitación, Ferran Corominas, alertó de su ausencia. Al abrir la puerta de la habitación, se encontraron a Dani Jarque sin conocimiento. A pesar de trasladarle a un hospital cercano, no se le pudo reanimar. Según algunas noticias, Jarque ya no se encontraba bien durante la tarde, y por ello no participó de una visita por Florencia como muchos de sus compañeros, que aprovecharon que el equipo tenía la tarde libre. El defensa catalán, de 26 años, había sido designado capitán del Espanyol esta pretemporada y sustituía en esta función a Raúl Tamudo. REACCIÓN ESPONTÁNEA A medida que avanzó la noche, numerosos aficionados españolistas quisieron testimoniar su condolencia por la pérdida del central. de forma espontánea, muchos de ellos se dirigieron hasta la puerta 23 del nuevo estadio de Cornellà-El Prat, la misma puerta que lleva el número del dorsal de Jarque. Allí depositaron recuerdos del futbolistas y un sinfín de velas encendidas.
