Former England Manager Sven-Göran Eriksson Dies

Sven-Göran Eriksson, the former England football manager, passed away at 76 after a battle with terminal pancreatic cancer, which he was diagnosed with in January 2024. Eriksson, known for leading England to the World Cup quarter-finals in 2002 and 2006, revealed he had only a year to live following his diagnosis. His health decline was rapid, marked by a collapse during a run last year that revealed he had suffered five strokes. Despite initial hope for recovery, doctors informed him that the cancer was inoperable, leading to his eventual passing at home surrounded by family. Health experts emphasize the importance of early detection of pancreatic cancer, a disease with a survival rate of less than 5%. Eriksson's death has reignited discussions about the symptoms of this aggressive cancer, prompting public health messages to raise awareness.
