That was a sad incident no doubt. Physiologically, kids that age chest wall isn't very well protected, as they haven't developed their chest muscles yet. A hard hit can cause the heart to go into V-fib, which is probably what happend in this incident. It takes a hit just at the right moment during the caridac cycle, it's rare but obviouslly can happen.
