Emiliano Sala's father has died

Three months after the tragic accident that ravaged the world of football, Horacio Sala was found dead last night in Progreso (Santa Fe) due to a heart attack.

"At dawn he felt a pain in his chest, they called the doctor, but when he arrived, Horacio had already died," said Daniel Ribero, president of San Martin de Progreso for the channel 'C5N'.

Death struck again the Sala family, which after losing the son footballer now loses the father truck driver. A tragedy that has shaken the community of Progreso of 2,568 inhabitants.

"This 2019 never ceases to surprise us with this news in this town. At 5 a.m. his wife called me, Horacio's partner, who was very ill and the doctors were there, but when I arrived at his home he had already died", admitted Julio Müller, president of Progreso talking to 'Radio La Red'.

On this matter, Müller wanted to emphasize in his speech and added: "Horacio was never able to overcome Emiliano's death. When the body was found, it was thought that the family would have some closure. But I imagine that for them with all the news that came to light about the pilot or that now the club (Cardiff) does not want to pay must be very difficult.

Life changed for the Sala family on January 21, when the plane in which Emiliano Sala was flying from Nantes to Cardiff disappeared in the English Channel. Two weeks later, the footballer's body was found lifeless.

Just three months and five days later, Horacio, Emiliano Sala's father, died of a heart attack in the early hours of the morning. A new setback for a family that is suffering with grief yet again.
