Deceased South African International to Father: "I Can't Take It Anymore"

On July 11, Jaden Adams, who represented South Africa at the World Cup, was found dead at his Cape Town home. The 25-year-old reportedly called his father before his death, just hours after an argument with his girlfriend. The ongoing investigation has yet to determine the exact circumstances surrounding his passing, but new details could help investigators shed light on the case.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer specialist, mentioned hours after Adams' death that the passing of his grandmother had deeply affected the Mamelodi Sundowns player.

However, the media outlet "News24" offers another possible explanation for the midfielder's death. Jaden Adams reportedly had a disturbing phone conversation with his father on the morning of the tragedy, confessing, "Dad, I can't take it anymore." "News24" also adds that the night before his death, the 25-year-old had a heated argument with his girlfriend, Akila Adendorf, during an outing.

After finishing second in Group A, South Africa was eliminated in the round of 16 following a 1-0 loss to Canada in a match where Jaden Adams remained on the bench.
