Salma Abdelati says she is grateful her husband spent a few 'happy weeks with his son' before his death.
Sebastian Eubank died after a "massive heart attack" that was linked to a pre-existing heart condition of which his family was unaware, his widow has said.His widow, Salma Abdelati, said the 29-year-old had the heart attack while in the sea in Dubai.
She said she was grateful "he was able to spend a few short and happy weeks with his son before his death". Sebastian, who had followed in his father's footsteps to become a professional boxer, had been due to turn 30 on 18 July. In a statement, his widow said: "Dubai Police and the coroner have confirmed that after a full post-mortem Sebastian Eubank tragically died from a massive heart attack whilst in the sea and probably could not have been saved even if out of the water. There was evidence of a pre-existing heart condition we were all unaware of.
"While still very painful, it is of some comfort that Sebastian died after having one of his favourite meals with one of his closest friends whilst doing his favourite thing at his favourite place in Dubai where he often went to swim. He was standing in the water close to shore watching the sunset at Cove Beach in Dubai.image copyright
