If I had punched a ref when I was a teen, my mother would have ran on the field and kicked my ass.

MURRAY, Utah -- A 46-year-old soccer referee who was punched by a teenage player during a game and later slipped into a coma has died, police said.
Ricardo Portillo of Salt Lake City passed away at the hospital, where he was being treated following the assault last weekend, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said Saturday night.
Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Portillo after the man called a foul on him and issued him a yellow card.
"The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in the face as a result of the call," Hoyal said in a press release.
The teen, whose name hasn't been released because of his age, has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault. Hoyal said authorities will consider additional charges since Portillo has died.
An autopsy is planned. No cause of death was released.
Portillo suffered swelling in his brain and had been listed in critical condition, Dr. Shawn Smith said Thursday at the Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray.
The victim's family, which publicly spoke of Portillo's plight this past week, has asked for privacy, Hoyal said.
Johana Portillo, 26, said last week that she wasn't at the April 27 game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville, but she said she's been told by witnesses and detectives that the player hit her father in the side of the head.
"When he was writing down his notes, he just came out of nowhere and punched him," she said.
Accounts from a police report, Portillo's daughter and others offer more details about what occurred.
The teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score a goal. In soccer, a yellow card is given as a warning to a player for an egregious violation of the rules.
The teenager, quite a bit heavier than Portillo, began arguing with the referee, then unleashed a punch to his face. Portillo seemed fine at first, then asked to be held because he felt dizzy. He sat down and started vomiting blood, triggering his friend to call an ambulance.
When police arrived around noon, the teenager was gone and Portillo was laying on the ground in the fetal position. Through translators, Portillo told EMTs that his face and back hurt and he felt nauseous. He had no visible injuries and remained conscious. He was considered to be in fair condition when they took him to the Intermountain Medical Center.
But when Portillo arrived to the hospital, he slipped into a coma with swelling in his brain. Johana Portillo called detectives to let them know his condition had worsened.
That's when detectives intensified their search for the goalie. By Saturday evening, the teenager's father agreed to bring him down to speak with police.
Portillo's family said he had been attacked before, and Johanna Portillo said she and her sisters begged their father to stop refereeing because of the risk from angry players, but he continued because he loved soccer.
"It was his passion," she said. "We could not tell him no."

If you get punched by a 17 year old and die than you don't deserve to live.
-
Is there a video of said punch?
I still find it remarkable that a 17-year old punches a man once and he manages to slip into a coma, followed by death.
I wonder if there was more going on with the ref. Maybe he had an cerebral aneurysm that ruptured upon receiving the blow to the head?
I don't want to chalk it up to a 17-year old's killer punch...
Is there more to this G?

Let someone punch you in the temple and see how quickly you slip to the after life.

I could see an underlying condition being the culprit. Either way, the kid will be regretting not taking up boxing instead of soccer for the rest of his life.

is doesnt take much to kill a persin
that is not expecting any thing

If you land the punch right, you can easily kill someone. A 17 year old who weighs 180 pounds or so, can easily kill someone, if he just happens to land the punch in a particular spot. Highly unlikely, but still possible.

Same here. Something else had to be wrong with the ref and the punch brought it on.

If you get hit in just the the right place (near the temple where there is a very thin bone covering an important blood vessel), a punch could cause an epidural hematoma and do a guy in just like this.

So now you can't die from a punch without an underlying medical condition?

Fuck, do you guys not watch Lifetime Network? People get killed by punches all the time...NO HOMO

this is more then likely the case but if the full burden falls on the asshole who could not control his temper, I say ``so be it`` let them make an example for the rest of the athletes with anger control issues.

I watched this again a few weeks ago, if you can check out the older brothers acting in the first 5 minutes during the Terrorist scene, one of the worst performances you will ever see!
