Unfortunately, yes. It's very shocking especially that he is still in his 50s. But apparently he had liver problems.

Very sad to hear. Never had the luxury of seeing him play live, he was before my time. From everything I've seen from replays & from what others says.. This guy really was one of the best whoever did it.

I have always really admired Socrates for what he gave to football and to humanity. Funny, just a few weeks ago I drew a picture of him in one of my artbooks; using this photo as a template.
