Uruguayan legend Fabian O'Neill dies of alcoholism at 49
2022-12-27 18:11Former Juventus midfielder and Uruguayan star Fabian O'Neill died of liver disease on Christmas Day 2022 at the age of 49. His death has now been confirmed by his daughter Marina O'Neill.
Fabian O'Neal was born in Paso de los Toros in 1973 and started his career with the local giants Club Nacional. In 1996, O'Neill went to Cagliari to start his Serie A career, and then played for Juventus and Perugia.
In January 2003, O'Neill returned to Club Nacional again, and hung up his boots on July 1 of the same year.
At the national team level, Fabian O'Neill only played 18 times for Uruguay and scored 2 goals.
In 2020, O'Neill suffered from severe liver disease due to long-term alcoholism, and failed to quit drinking several times in the past two years. Until this year's Christmas Eve, O'Neill fell into a coma due to gastrointestinal bleeding due to chronic liver disease, and died after rescue efforts failed.
Condolences from various clubs
