REVEALED: Ex-coach Stephen Keshi was Lonely, Hypertensive and Broken-hearted

Family sources have revealed that the former Super Eagles tactician, Stephen Keshi, who passed away in the early hours of today, was broken-hearted.
A family member has exclusively disclosed to TheCable on Wednesday morning hours after legendary football star, Stephen Keshi passed on that “Since the death of his wife, Kate, in December 2015, his life had changed dramatically.” 
 
When his wife died, Keshi had said: “She was ill for a while now and I’m still in shock of this great loss. She is more like a sister to me and was the rock behind me and everything I do. My love for her was at first sight.”
 
The source said the 54-year-old football icon had become hypertensive “but was managing it very well… always taking his medications and checking his blood pressure very regularly”.
 
Another family member also told TheCable that since the former Super Eagles’ coach lost his wife, he had become so lonely that he was practically soliciting phone calls from friends.
 
“After the burial of his wife, people practically left him to himself. The calls and visits became fewer, and he felt the pain the more. They were married for 35 years and he watched the love of his life battle bravely with cancer for three years. He was inconsolable,” he said.
 
It was gathered that Keshi, who was due to travel to the USA later in the day, started complaining of excruciating pains in his legs a few minutes to midnight. He was rushed to the hospital when the pains would not subside, but he passed away on his way to the hospital at about 3:00 am.
 
In a statement issued by his family, the preliminary cause of death was given as “cardiac arrest”.
 
Respected sports journalist, Kayode Tijani, who was very close to Keshi, said that he spoke with the former international last weekend.
 
“He asked about me from a mutual friend, so I immediately called him. He was so appreciative. You would think I gave him something he did not have. He kept thanking me profusely for calling him,” Tijani said.
