The deceased succumbed to cardiac arrest; Daddy Owen explained that his father had just had dinner when he started complaining of chest pains.<\/p>\n

“He was very ok, he had just had dinner with my mother and he excused himself to go to the toilet and the next thing my mother heard him fall. She went to check and found my father on the floor complaining of chest pains and a few seconds later he died,” Daddy Owen said.<\/p>\n
