The Maltese football community was mourning the loss of Ramiro Mallia, a 19-year-old from Qormi who tragically died on Tuesday as a result of a gas leak at his home.
Mallia was described by many as a kind-hearted, cheerful young man who was an avid supportor of Italian football club AC Milan.
Mallia was a young football player himself and was on the books of his town Qormi. Last season he moved on loan to Marsasakala FC.
