Last updated : 26 December 2013 By Steve Forbes

Some heart breaking news coming out of Easter Road today, that Hibs U20 midfielder David Paul has passed away.

The 18-year-old was found dead this morning after passing away in his sleep during the night.

David was a important part of the rampant U20 side who currently sit proudly on top of the SPFL U20 league.

Hibernian-Mad would like to take this oppertunity to pass on our condolences to David's family, friends, team mates and everyone at Easter Road - he will be sadly missed.

We would also like to take this oppertunity to pass on our condolences to the family of Jamie Skinner.

In more heartbreaking news for Edinburgh football, former Hearts starlet and Tynecastle U14 player Skinner, 13, collapsed on the pitch during a match at Saughton Park.

Despite the efforts of paramedics at the scene, he also, sadly passed away.

A truly horrible day for Edinburgh football.
