Tragic news: English second-division club announces death of former player, aged 25

West Bromwich Albion has announced the tragic death of their former player, Quevin Castro, who passed away at the young age of 25. The offensive midfielder collapsed on the field during a friendly match in Portugal.

Despite immediate medical attention and attempts to revive him with a defibrillator, Castro could not be saved. Emergency services arrived quickly and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Castro, born in England with Portuguese roots, had a career that included a stint in the academy of London's Chelsea before joining West Bromwich Albion.
