Three months after Emiliano Sala was killed in a plane clash, his father, Horacio Sala, 58, suffered a heart attack on Friday and died before doctors arrived at his home in Progreso.
His death was confirmed by his friend, Daniel Ribero, who reported it to a local TV station.
Recall that Emiliano Sala died on his way to his new club, Cardiff City, where he had signed a club record contract of £15m, in January.
