Sebastian Eubank – son of former world champion boxer Chris – died from a massive heart attack, his widow Salma has revealed.

She added her husband could not have been saved, and was probably living with an undiagnosed heart condition.

Sebastian, 29, died in the sea at Dubai.

Salma said:

“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.

“I am grateful that he was able to spend a few short and happy weeks with his son before his death.”

The couple recently had a son Raheem only weeks ago.

Boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr, 54, said:

“Never did I ever imagine I would write these words or experience the feeling I now have at the loss of my son.

“My family and I are devastated to hear of the death of Sebastian just days before what would have been his 30th birthday.”
