Sven-Goran Eriksson delivers final goodbye and admits how he wants people to remember him
Gazing over at a peaceful lake in his Swedish homeland, Sven-Goran Eriksson feels an inner calm amid the turmoil of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
And the 76-year-old tells how the still waters could be his final resting place – before he goes on to deliver a poignant goodbye message as his time on Earth nears its end.
Sven says: “I had a good life. I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. You have to learn to accept it for what it is. Hopefully at the end people will say, yeah, he was a good man, but everyone will not say that.
Horror CCTV shows doomed Bayesian yacht engulfed by storm as air pockets could keep missing alive
Horror CCTV footage shows the moment a terrifying storm in Italy engulfed a superyacht carrying 22 people as a desperate search continues for those missing, who could be relying on air pockets to survive.
The 56-metre luxury yacht, named the Bayesian, capsized and sank on Monday at around 5am after a horrific storm hit the area – with expert divers continuing their desperate search for those onboard. Authorities confirmed yesterday that one man had tragically died following the incident, while six others remain missing.
The vessel, located off the coast of Palermo, Sicily, is believed to be owned by the family of British tycoon Mike Lynch, who is among those yet to be found, along with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. Fifteen people, including a one-year-old baby, were saved by nearby ship Sir Robert Baden Powell, which was anchored close by.
