The former player tried to help Danilo, carried him to the car and sped off to the hospital. The doctors’ attempts to revive the patient proved fruitless. Danilo suffered from coronary atherosclerosis (blockage of the heart vessels). The boy was the eldest of the three children of the former captain of the Brazilian national team (married for 35 years to Regina Feliciano, Cafu also has Wellington, 29, and Michelle, 27). The former player, 49, received VEJA on two occasions at his home to talk about this enormous loss.
