HORACIO SALA, FATHER OF EMILANO SALA DIES OF HEART ATTACK MONTHS AFTER MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF HIS SON

Emilano Sala’s father, Horacio Sala, is dead, three months after his son passed away in a tragic plane crash.

The 58 year old Horacio Sala, died of heart attack after he found it tough to get over his son’s death three months earlier.

The former truck driver made emotional pleas during the search for Sala and was pictured with Cardiff manager Neil Warnock at his funeral.

The tragic news comes just months after the death of Horacio’s son, Argentinian striker Emiliano Sala, who was travelling from Nantes to Cardiff when his plane crashed.

An initial search failed to find the plane before a privately-funded search, led by chief investigator David Mearns, got underway.

A body was found among the wreckage almost three weeks after going missing and Sala was identified by the Dorset coroner on February 7. Pilot Ibbotson’s body was never accounted for.

Thousands flocked to the 28-year-old’s funeral in his hometown of Progreso with tributes paid to the Argentine across the world.
