The former international football player and coach had lost his wife of 35 years, Kate, last year after a prolonged battle with cancer. is death was confirmed from a member of his family as well as one of his close associates.
According to a friend and a former member of his backroom staff when he was in charge of the national team a couple of years ago: “He (Keshi) was hail and hearty. I still spoke with him for a very long time on Tuesday. Throughout our long conversation, not once did he complain of anything illness.”
However, another friend said: “He was not ill at all, never showed any signs of illness, but we suspect he never got over the death of his wife.”

Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh Blast Fans - Football
Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has launched a scathing attack at his critics who fuel speculation about his future in charge of the Nigerian national team; going as far as labelling them as insane.
“Now it’s the time to attack,” an infuriated Oliseh said on a new YouTube clip.
“The usual critics have brought out their fangs again. I’m addressing this constant insanity, this is madness that has befallen some of our critics. You must be insane to ask questions on the future of the Super Eagles because we lost CHAN.
“With all due respect, CHAN is the least important tournament organised by CAF, and it is a tournament which weighs on the strength of the various leagues and you can see how far DR Congo and TP Mazembe have done.
“What then should be done to the coaches of Ghana, South Africa and Egypt, who did not qualify for this tournament?
“This insanity each time the Super Eagles lose, these critics go on air and start seeking the future of the coach. This is madness!
“They did the same thing when we lost to DR Congo, which was a friendly game. They were asking questions if this was the right person to lead the Super Eagles.
“We lost to Guinea, and this comes after a 10-game unbeaten run, and they start this hulabalo over the future of the coach of the Super Eagles.”
Oliseh insisted he's on course to qualifying Eagles for both AFCON 2017 and the 2018 World Cup.
“We’re on track to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations and we have qualified into the pool stage for the World Cup.

"This is the 14th game I have been in charge as coach and we have lost only two and only one official game. So, where is this failure that some people are trying to sell to Nigerians?
“Unless for coach Sunday Oliseh and his crew to be successful, they have to win all their matches. Jesus Christ! Even the world champions Germany are not doing that..."
