Nine Year Old Killed in Juventus Training Camp

The football community had a reminder about the dangers of goalposts at the weekend as nine year old Tommaso Cerase tragically lost his life.

The young nine year old was taking part in a training session at Juventus' New York training complex when the incident occurred.  According to reports the goalpost came apart and fell onto to youngster causing a fatal blow to his head.  The youngster was rushed to the Roosevelt Hospital as medics battled to save his life.  However, despite their best efforts, they were ultimately in vain.

Tommaso Cerase was at a soccer practice in Hell's Kitchen when the tragic accident happened. Erin Logan reports.

This is the third death in the space of a few months to hit the news, all as a result of goalposts.  

The 12-year-old Geylang Methodist Secondary School student who died after a goal post fell on him on Monday (Apr 24) was the younger brother of local singer Sarah Aqilah. Sarah, who was crowned the winner of Mediacorp's Suria reality singing competition Anugerah in 2009, told Channel NewsAsia that death of her brother, Muhammad Hambali Sumathi is a great loss to her and her family.

A twelve year old lost his life earlier in the year when a goalpost he was hanging from came apart causing a fatal blow.  

Dad raises alarm about unanchored soccer posts after his son's death. Garrett Mills, 15, died instantly when a crossbar struck him at a Napanee, Ont., park.

Please be careful and please insure goalposts are checked and anchored down at all times.  These tragic stories need to stop!
