His wife wrote on Instagram, “There will never be anyone like you, unique, special, after you the absolute nothing”.

The news of his death comes two weeks after the death of Argentina football legend Diego Maradona, winner of the 1986 World Cup.

The cause of his death was undisclosed as at time this report was filed.
