Emiliano Sala’s Father Dies after Heart Attack

By Daily Sports on April 27, 2019

The father of Emiliano Sala, the Argentine player who was killed in a plane crash in January as he was en route to join new club Cardiff City, has died three months after his son.

Horacio Sala, 58 suffered a heart attack on Friday in his home in Progreso, Argentina, a friend and president of local club San Martin del Progreso, Daniel Ribero, confirmed to local TV station C5N.

“Unfortunately, he felt a sharp pain in his chest in the early hours [of Friday] and suffered a heart attack,” Ribero said. “By the time the doctors arrived he had already died. I recently saw him and spoke to him. He seemed to be gradually getting back to his routine. We spoke for half an hour and even told a joke. The news comes as a surprise as Horacio leaves us at 58.

“It leaves another void. We had been in constant contact for a month during the disappearance of the plane and this is very sad news.”

Emiliano Sala, 28, died after his plane crashed into the English Channel on Jan. 21 as he was flying from France to Wales after completing a club record £15 million deal transfer to Premier League side Cardiff. His body was recovered from the Piper Malibu aircraft two weeks later near Guernsey. (ESPN)
