January 12, 2020 In the night between Saturday and Sunday, Giovanni Custodero, the 27-year-old goalkeeper of Pezze di Greco, a hamlet of Fasano (Brindisi), died.

Bone sarcoma patient was under treatment for four years, and had told his story on Facebook. Then, always on the social network, he wrote: "I decided to spend the holidays away from the social networks but close to the people most important to me. However, now that the holidays are over, and with them also the last bit of strength I had left , I have decided that I cannot continue to make physical pain and suffering prevail over what fate has in store for me. "

A few days ago he had therefore announced that he wanted to resort to deep sedation to soothe the pain. "I will be sedated - he wrote on January 6 on Facebook - and I will be able to relieve my malaise".

The footballer had played on the Fasano 5-a-side football team in the C2 championship.
