Brazilian goalkeeper made heartbreaking final call to wife after plane crash moments before he died

A Brazilian footballer pulled alive from the Colombian air disaster made a final call to his wife from hospital just minutes before dying from his injuries.

Chapecoense goalkeeper Danilo Padilha was one of just seven survivors found in the wreckage of the jet.

The 31-year-old spoke to his heartbroken wife by phone while receiving treatment in hospital – but died from his injuries shortly after.


Mirror UK reports he had posted a picture just weeks ago next to his partner describing her as “my love”.

A total of 76 people were killed including the vast majority of Brazilian football team Chapecoense
