Lomu died on Wednesday at the age of 40. He died from nephritic syndrome, a disease that attacked his kidneys.

This disease caused him to have a transplant in 2004.

The All Blacks rugby player was awaiting another transplant and also undergoing dialysis treatment when he unexpectedly died.

Lomu was also a business man and took part in the banking industry.

Our Gossip and News team at Entertainment SA send our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
