Belgian soccer player has heart attack, sits up seconds later

Bob on 06 9, 2009

Belgian soccer player Anthony Van Loo has a sudden heart attack and drops to the ground. Apparently Van Loo knew he had a heart condition and had a defibrillator implanted. The defibrillator gave him a jolt (when he pops up) and most likely saved his life. Hopefully he has a full recovery. Scary stuff.
