“We are submerged in sadness and tightly embracing your whole family. You were an example of respect, commitment, and professionalism in this, our home, which also became your place—a place where you truly enjoyed doing what you loved most: playing football. Lautaro, we have no words. The Colón family loves you and will keep you in its memory forever. Farewell, Lau.”

The origin of the tragedy

The ordeal for the 22-year-old athlete began after playing in a Copa Santa Fe match against Central San Carlos. After celebrating qualification with his teammates without showing any prior discomfort, Fagioli collapsed at home.

Subsequent medical tests at José María Cullen Hospital determined that he had suffered a vertebral artery dissection that led to a severe ischemic stroke. Despite the efforts of the medical staff and the repeated prayer chains organized by the local football community, his condition proved irreversible.

Shock in the Santa Fe League

The loss of the young defender prompted an immediate wave of condolences from rival clubs, regional leagues, and youth football fans. Social media was flooded with messages of support for his family, friends, and his young daughter, born in 2024, remembering Lautaro as a promising athlete and, above all, as a great person on and off the pitch.
