I believe he had a history already... I heard somewhere that he had even suffered similar attacks while training and a previous game... maybe that explains the reaction of his teammates and drs. Truly sad...

"Doctor Francisco Murillo reported that Puerta had suffered repeated ventricular arrhythmias, the deadliest kind of heart arrhythmia, probably due to the lack of oxygen to parts of his brain during playing."
