How did Dallas Keogh-Frankling die?
Dallas Keogh, 17, died unexpectedly after collapsing in the locker rooms after playing despite an injury during a game in central Victoria.
He suddenly became unresponsive while playing an away game at the Kyneton Showgrounds.
Around 12.20 p.m. on Saturday, paramedics were called to the Kyneton Football Netball Club and took Dallas, who was in critical condition, to Kyneton Hospital, where an air ambulance was waiting for him. Dallas passed away in the hospital before being transported.
This sad news was reported by Castlemaine Football Netball Club this evening, saying,
“Our Club community has understandably been rocked by this tragedy and have spent time together over the past two days supporting each other and will continue to do so over the coming weeks and months,”
“Dallas loved his football, he loved his Club, and he loved his teammates,” they added.
“It is unfathomable to us that he is gone. At the behest of his family, training will continue to be offered this week to honour the fact that he would never want his death to dampen our love of the game.”
Thoughts are with Dallas’s parents Mark and Regina, his brother Ashton, and his friends and teammates during this incredibly difficult time for the entire football community. May he rest in peace.
Regina Keogh also confirmed this news, saying,
My two beautiful babies who were born into the most danger of all people across the whole world, and you said we’re safe where they were. Act of God.
I trusted your word in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
DALLAS IS GONE…. ….WILL RISE AGAIN

When Mark said, “His eyes rolled in the back of his head, I yelled for the ambulance,” the Herald Sun published it. “I held his hand and it felt cold. After an hour and a half, they couldn’t bring him back.
Daniel Andrews, the premier, expressed his “deepest condolences, prayers, and best wishes” to Dallas’ family and friends. According to a representative for the Castlemaine Football Netball Club, the “tragic” death left players and supporters “devastated.”
