News flash: Yesterday came the sad news that Zhang Enhua, the former leader of China's soccer team, passed away at the age of 48. Rumor has it that Zhang Enhua died of a heart attack after drinking too much alcohol at his birthday celebration, but according to an investigation by Oriental Sports Daily, this claim is pure nonsense.
After learning the news of Zhang Enhua's unfortunate passing, the East Sports reporter interviewed his colleague Wang Chao. Wang Chao personally experienced Zhang Enhua's birthday celebration banquet, he made it clear that Zhang Enhua did not drink much alcohol at the dinner, and ended the gathering at 22:00 and went home safely.
Wang Chao recalled, "more than two o'clock in the afternoon, I found Zhang guide in the home with an abnormality, immediately called 120 emergency. Unfortunately, when the 120 arrived, the person was already gone, and the preliminary diagnosis of the forensic pathologist was sudden death by cardiac arrest."
"The cause of Director Zhang's death was informed by the forensic doctor, and we have been cooperating with the investigation at the police station. Those who claimed that director Zhang had a drunken accident at his birthday banquet and could not be resuscitated are totally malicious and defamatory."
"Director Zhang devoted his life to Chinese grassroots soccer, bent on doing something practical for the soccer community, and his love of soccer is well known. Director Zhang's soccer career was clean and we don't want him to suffer such misunderstanding after his passing."
