The tragedy continued to hit Sala's family, just 3 months after Emiliano Sala passed away in a plane crash, it was the striker's father's turn to pass away suddenly.
media in Argentina confirmed that Mr. Horacio passed away in bed in the early morning of April 26 (local time) after a heart attack. Although Mr. Sala's relatives discovered him early and called for help, he still could not survive. According to the city's Mayor, Mr. Horacio could not overcome the pain of losing his son more than 3 months ago.
"At 5am this morning, his wife called me in a state of extreme panic. The doctor was there but when I arrived, he had passed away," said Mayor Julio Muller.
This is a real tragedy for the Sala family. Former striker Emiliano Sala had previously gone missing on 28 January on a plane carrying him to the foggy country of his new team Cardiff. No miracle has happened, after two weeks of searching, Emiliano Sala's body was found inside a crushed plane on the ocean floor. Sala passed away at the age of 28.
This was a very unfortunate accident because Sala refused to travel by civil aircraft as requested by Cardiff. In addition, the pilot of the David Ibbotson flight was not allowed to fly at night.
The 28-year-old's passing is a huge loss to his family, relatives and fans around the world. The saddest person is definitely Mr. Horacio. At the time of the Emiliano Sala accident, Mr. Horacio Sala was shocked. At that time, he said: "I could not believe Sala's death. I was completely desperate. It was a dream, an extremely bad dream. My son is a modest person, always striving to strive."
Up to now, Emiliano Sala's transfer is still in dispute between Cardiff City and Nantes. Cardiff refused to pay Nantes £15 million in transfer fees, saying the case was full of errors and had not been approved by the Premier League at the time of Emiliano Sala's disappearance.
