I'm sure S69 posted something similar last year but with the recent incident of the Bolton football collapsing during a game I think its worth looking at again.

The best thing to do at this time is educate your trainees as to the symptoms and hope that they will confide in you through all the bravado.
I personally have experienced this first hand with two friends so I do recognize the importance. One did have warning signs of which I was present the first time and I would blame just sheer exertion combined with exhaustion and supplements as the tipping point. A year later he died, when they did the autopsy they said the heart looked like that of a 70 yr old.
The other had no warning signs, not sure if exhaustion or supplements played a factor. This was a decade ago, neither made it even close to the thirty mark so they were young lads.
