Christian Chalita, a child from Mexico, came to study and train in basketball at the IMG Academies in 2002. IMG Academies is an elite sports training academy in Bradenton, Florida which caters to athletes from over 70 countries who aspire to be professional athletes. Christian's biological father died at the age of 33 from a heart attack. In spite of IMG Academies knowing this fact, Christian was repeatedly cleared to fully participate in IMG academies' vigorous training program in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2004, a few weeks after being cleared, Christian collapsed in the exercise room and suffered a heart attack. He died as a result of the heart attack.
