There are cases of youth baseball players, including a 7-year-old this year, who get hit in the chest by a baseball at just that particular millisecond, at just the right place and strength, to cause an abnormal heart rhythm and cardiac arrest. These are cases where the individual has a healthy heart. if you don't get treatment in the first few minutes, they often die. (The 7-year-old died.) This was probably the cause. For Damar, luckily it was during a NFL game when they have expert medical staff and a defibrillator.
