At The Eighth Pole

From Godolphin.com:

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: "Earlier in the week, we detected an abnormality in Electrocutionist's heart. He was admitted to the veterinary hospital for tests and further investigations. He appeared to be responding well to treatment, but during the night he suffered what seems to have been a fatal heart attack.

"It is terribly sad. He was a great horse for Godolphin and a real stable favourite. He will be sorely missed by all of us."

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor also paid tribute to Electrocutionist, saying: "He was a wonderful, brave horse, a real pleasure to train. He gave his best every time he ran and I will always remember the courage and class he showed in winning the Dubai World Cup. He was a champion."

Frankie Dettori said: "Electrocutionist's World Cup win was a really fantastic performance. It is desperately sad that we have lost him, because he was one of those horses who always seemed to relish a battle. It is a terrible blow for the whole team."

Such a tragic loss so close to the Breeders Cup, ironic it's his heart that failed him here where it brought him to glorious victory in Dubai and in last year's Juddmonte International.
