According to the family's lawyers, it appears the fight broke out over a referee's call on a foul committed by a player on Sanchez's team. He was not involved in the fight, the lawyers said, but when all the players started descending on the field, Sanchez ended up on the ground, unresponsive. A Good Samaritan administered CPR until Sanchez was taken to the hospital. He never regained consciousness and passed away on July 25.
"We were not ready for this type of goodbye. At this time, we are asking for your prayers, and if you can contribute financially, it will be greatly appreciated. The donations will help the family through these hard times," his family wrote on a GoFundMe page.
Witnesses told the family's lawyers they saw Sanchez being hit and kicked by several people, which is why they believe there is more than one person responsible in connection with his death.
