Emil Jula is dead: ex-Bundesliga player apparently died in his sleep
The circumstances surrounding his death are particularly tragic. As the portal digisport.ro writes, Jula should not have felt well in the morning. He is said to have called an emergency doctor who is said to have administered him medication. Jula is said to have gone to bed afterwards and died half an hour later of a heart attack. The Gladbach icon Hans-Jörg Criens also died much too early after a heart attack.
Perhaps his death could have been prevented had he been immediately rushed to hospital and given immediate treatment. Jula is to be transferred to his Romanian homeland Cluj and buried in the next few days. A large part of his family lives in the city.
