Utah soccer ref dies after player's punch

A Utah soccer referee who slipped into a coma after being punched by a teenage player during a game a week ago died Saturday night, police said.

Ricardo Portillo, 46, of Salt Lake City passed away at the hospital, where he was being treated following an assault, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said.

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.
...
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.

Wow, that's horrible. I think the kid should definitely do jail for it, but I have no idea how long? It's not like he meant to kill the guy. Just a horrible situation all around. Lives ruined over a stupid mistake.

I believe the charge would be involuntary manslaughter.

Have no idea what the minimum sentence would be for a conviction.

It was a recreational league. Tensions shouldn't be so high that you want to hit a ref. I don't think this is just a simple mistake.
