“He has no appetite either, he needs artificial feeding, and however, according to the doctors, his condition has stabilized, it would be important that he would accept food and return his vitality” – son of Buzánszky said. After Christmas and even before New Year’s Eve, the former star was brought from the ICU to the department of Internal Medicine. His body became very weak and his mood was volatile. He consumed only a minimal amount of food and drink, Nemzetisport.hu says.

Buzánszky Jr. said in his statement given to the National Sport (Nemzeti Sport):

“From now only God knows how and when dad’s condition will change”

According to Nemzetisport.hu, Jenő Buzánszky, who was the last living member of the Golden Team, passed away on Sunday evening at eight o’clock. Pál Várhidi and József Tóth are still alive from the Hungarian National Team which won the silver medal in the 1954 Switzerland World Championship.
