The investigation
Sala was “deeply unconscious” after experiencing poisoning from inhaling toxic gases before dying from severe blows to the head and chest in a plane crash in 2019, according to a British jury on Thursday, March 17th.
Sala died when the single-engine Piper Malibu plane carrying him crashed into the English Channel.
The jury in court in Bournemouth, England, found that Sala was the passenger on the private plane with the pilot, David Ibbotson, who did not have the proper authority to fly at night.
The aircraft was damaged when it crashed into the sea. Ibbotson’s body was never found.

Pathologist Basil Purdue said “Sala lost consciousness due to severe poisoning” from building up carbon monoxide inside the cabin because the plane’s system was faulty to dissolve it.
The doctor added that the soccer player was “deeply unconscious” before the plane landed. Purdue added that Sala was still alive at the time of the impact and died from severe blows to the head and chest.
