Brazilian football legend Pele, dies at the age of 82, after weeks-long hospitalisation in Sau Paulo
According to his doctors, Pele's cancer had advanced in recent weeks and he required care related to renal and cardiac dysfunction.
Pele's daughter, Kely Nascimento, announced the football star's passing on Thursday in an Instagram post, and it was confirmed by the Brazilian publication, Globo. Widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, he had been hospitalised at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo since late November as doctors reevaluate his treatment and tend to a respiratory infection.
Pele had received regular medical treatment since a tumour was removed from his colon in September last year.
