Darwin, 07 July : Local Australian rules footballer and school teacher Nathan Fitzgerald has died after suffering a catastrophic head injury during a match in Melbourne.
The 27-year-old was playing for Epping Football Netball Club on Saturday at Lalor Recreation Reserve when he was involved in a freak collision while attempting a tackle.

Medical staff from both teams and paramedics treated Fitzgerald at the scene for nearly an hour, performing CPR before he was rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital. Despite undergoing emergency brain surgery, he later died from his injuries.
