Canadian rugby player dies

A Canadian rugby player collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack at a tournament in the Adirondack Mountains. Officials tell the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that Gerhart Vidt collapsed late Friday morning during a match at the 43rd annual Can-Am Rugby Tournament in Saranac Lake. Vidt, who was in his 50s, was a member of a team from Ottawa. Teammate Pat Byrne said Vidt had just walked off the field complaining that his teammates weren’t playing hard enough when he dropped to the ground.
