Being reported that former Birmingham striker Christian Benitez has died.
Very sad news, only 27 and had only just moved to Qatar. Thought he was a very talented footballer, was linked with a host of Premier League clubs over the summer.
RIP Christian "Chucho" Benitez

I've seen conflicting reports, some saying car crash, some saying peritonitis complications.

His club retweeted something which translates as this:
The club @ EljaishSC formalizes the death of Ecuadorian striker # ChristianBenítez because of respiratory failure.

A big Star over here in Mexico, and a reputation as a nice guy. Sad news

That translation makes it sound a bit sinister.
