Not much info coming out yet, but 22 is awfully young to go.
 
Just saw this in a release from United - today's match cancelled. Sad stuff. 22? Yeah, way way way too young
 
A little more info:

Uniformed police officers were dispatched to Park Street Patio at 533 Park St. at 12:50 a.m. Urso was transported from there to Grant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:51 a.m. The coroner's office is handling the investigation.
 
His fitness level was not at a level where he should have returned to the pitch.

He hadn't in any form of organized match.

Nothing concrete on the cause, but the bar he was at handled this horribly.
