According to Lokeren's club doctor, Kris Peeters, Mertens suffered heart failure, though the exact cause remains unknown.

He said that Mertens was an 'elite sportsman' and that the situation was a 'very difficult thing to accept and understand for many people.'

European governing body Uefa introduced mandatory cardiac testing for all players taking part in its competition in 2008 following the deaths of Marc-Vivien Foé, Antonio Puerta and Phil O'Donnell.
