West Indies cricket superstar Chris Gayle is now mourning the death of his mother, Hazel, who died on Wednesday morning, from a suspected heart attack.

Hazel, who was the matriarch of the Gayle family, is survived by her husband Dudley, and seven children – Vanclive, Lyndon, Michelle, Michael, Andrew, Christopher, and Wayne.

Shortly after the news broke an official statement was made by the West Indies Cricket Board as CWI President Dave Cameron offered a message of sympathy towards the iconic batsman.

“On behalf of CWI @windiescricket we would like to send condolences to @henrygayle, Dulla, Michelle, Lyndon and Vanclive on the passing of their mom and also to Mr Gayle and the rest of the Gayle family and friends,” Cameron posted Wednesday morning.
