Death is something that is inevitable and still many people fear death. An accidental death in sports is reasonable and often occurs. Many people would prefer to die in a peaceful way, generally while asleep. However, here is a list of few athletes who have been fully active at the time of their death. Though these sportsmen died tragically but they died doing what they cherished.
