Former Serie A player Andrea Capone has been discovered deceased at the five-star Palazzo Tirso hotel in Cagliari, Italy. Cagliari Calcio, the club he once played for, expressed their sorrow in a statement, saying, “All of Cagliari Calcio learns with dismay and deep sadness the news of the passing of Andrea Capone, who died at just 43 years of age.”
According to the Italian newspaper *Il Messaggero*, Capone had attended a baptism party the previous night and chose to stay at the Palazzo Tirso hotel because he was unable to locate his car keys. He reportedly spent the night alone in a two-story suite, where he was found dead this morning with head injuries.
“According to an initial investigation, Capone, 43, may have accidentally fallen and hit his head. A preliminary external examination by the medical examiner’s staff indicates that the injuries are consistent with a fall. Investigators are still working at the scene to piece together the former footballer’s last hours and are expected to obtain footage from the hotel’s internal cameras.”
During his trial with Celtic, Andrea Capone played in a friendly match where he assisted a goal in their 2-1 victory over Peterborough United. He also scored a goal in another friendly against Queen’s Park Rangers, contributing to a 5-1 win for Celtic.
Capone joined Vicenza in August 2007, where he netted eight goals in 42 appearances. Tributes to Andrea Capone have flooded social media, with one fan simply saying, “R.I.P Andrea Capone.”
