AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- FC Utrecht defender David di Tommaso died in his sleep at age 26. The cause of death wasn't immediately known, the soccer club said Tuesday.
"He ate dinner last night and went to bed as he usually did. He didn't complain of feeling ill," club doctor Frank van Hellemondt said.

He is survived by his wife and a daughter.
