Ο αθλητισμός και ειδικότερα το ποδόσφαιρο της Λιθουανίας θρηνούν τον θάνατο του Μάριους Ζαλιούκας, ο οποίος άφησε την τελευταία του πνοή σε ηλικία μόλις 36 ετών.

Την τραγική είδηση έδωσε στην δημοσιότητα η ομοσπονδία της χώρας, χωρίς να διευκρινίζονται τα αίτια θανάτου.

Ο εκλιπών υπήρξε διεθνής κεντρικός αμυντικός από το 2006 μέχρι το 2015 (29 συμμετοχές), ενώ σε συλλογικό επίπεδο αγωνίσθηκε στην πατρίδα του με τα «χρώματα» των Ινκάρας, Κάουνας, FBK Κάουνας και Σιλούτε.

Επίσης έπαιξε και στην Μεγάλη Βρετανία για λογαριασμό των Χαρτς (219 αγώνες και κατάκτηση

κυπέλλου), Λιντς και Ρέϊντζερς.

Hearts have dedicated their Scottish Cup win over Hibs to former captain Marius Zaliukas who's died at the age of 36.
