Danny Singh-Rathor, 27, died without warning as he drove home from playing his weekly football match in March 2009. The “ambitious and friendly” father of one showed no signs of poor health, leaving his friends and family in shock.
Danny, from Southampton, had planned to go on the trip of a lifetime with his brother Bhadur but had his dream snatched from him as tragedy struck. Speaking about his brother’s death 15 years ago, Bhadur (now 44) told The Independent: “He was fit and healthy. He used to play football twice a week, so he was healthier than I was, put it that way.
“When he died it was a total shock to us all. Just an unbelievable scenario, like your worst nightmare come true.” The IT specialist was driving home from one of his weekly football matches on 19 March that year at around 9.30pm when he suffered a heart attack.
