Bloody hell that's awful!

Couple of articles say he was taken ill while at an apartment with friends. Ambulance was called but they couldn't do anything. Sounds very sudden whatever it was.

Everyone at Aston Villa is deeply saddened by news of the passing of our former goalkeeper Matija Šarkić.

Matija joined our Academy in 2015 and spent five years with the club, during which time he made his full international debut for Montenegro, before departing in the summer of 2020.

The thoughts and condolences of all at the club are with his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

There's a two-parter Under The Cosh podcast with him where he comes across as a lovely, funny bloke.

Terrible shame, I always rated him as a player, a proper centre forward.

Very sad news that our former keeper Matija Sarkic has passed away aged only 26. I was just commenting on how excellent he was playing for Montenegro vs Belgium. Sarkic played most recently for Millwall. RIP

Bloody hell.
So hard to take in. A fit and healthy young man in his absolute prime.
Must be a terrible shock for his family and friends.
RIP Matija.
