On Monday, he was diagnosed with pneumonia, but he continued complaining of chest pains,” he told NewsDay Sport.

“He was in pain, but it was nothing serious. It was not something that we were worried about. We went for his check-up today (yesterday) and was given an injection. All this time, he was looking jovial and everything looked well. But the situation deteriorated as we returned to the car and about to leave the medical facility.
