David Beckham Rushes Home

David Beckham has rushed home to England to be with his seriously ill father.

The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star - who is currently living in Beverly Hills - was devastated when he was told dad Ted had suffered a heart attack and caught the first plane back to London.

He is expected to land at lunchtime today (27.09.07).

David's spokesman said: "His father has had a heart attack and is currently being treated in hospital. David is flying back to be with him."

The 32-year-old star's wife, Spice Girl Victoria, was unable to join him as she is busy working in Japan.

Ted, 59, was taken to hospital yesterday (26.09.07) after complaining of chest pains at home.

Sources claim he died en route to Whipps Cross Hospital in Essex but was resuscitated by paramedics.
