She said: \u201cIt is heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking, it just shows how life events can change really quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m absolutely devastated for his wife, his children and his family. I can\u2019t imagine what they are going through, my son is 28, it is really shocking.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife and his career had only just started, he\u2019s done an incredible job here at Liverpool<\/a> Football Club and one of their greatest strikers and just getting married, having his young children, looking forward to all the great things that he was going to do here and in his life.
