David Beckham Rushes to Father's Side

David Beckham rushes to catch a flight back to England after receiving word of his father’s heart attack.

The father of the soccer stud, Ted Beckham, 59, was rushed to East London’s Whipps Cross Hospital early Thursday. Sources said Ted DIED en route but was resuscitated by medics. Ted was then transferred to heart specialist.

A source close to Becks said: “David‘s dad suffered a heart attack. It was all very sudden. This is a huge shock to David who is now preparing to fly home.”

David‘s father’s name is also David but he is known as Ted, short for Edward, his middle name. Mr. Beckham is divorced from David‘s mother, Sandra. The couple also have a daughter, Joanne.
