Death by Cricket! Eish!

I was looking at Cricket injuries and the last one stuck me as being rather relevant what with the Bob Woolmer murder investigation. Cricket can get downright megalicously deadly!

"In extremely rare cases death can result from being struck by a cricketball on the chest. The phenomenon, called commotion cordis, causes the heart to stop beating."
Condolences to his family and the cricketing fraternity for the loss of a great coach and cricketer.
By the way, don't try using this title for a book, it has already been used albeit unpublished. The astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle(1915-2001) wrote a book with the title "Death by Cricket", it is in the St John's College Library, Cambridge University.
