By The RingTV.com editors

Miguel Cotto Sr., the father of former two-division titleholder Miguel Cotto, passed away in Puerto Rico on Sunday morning, the apparent victim of a heart attack, according to El Nuevo Dia.

The the Puerto Rican daily newspaper reported that Cotto Sr., who suffered from health problems such as asthma and had to carry an oxygen tank around to help him breathe properly, was driving early Sunday, felt ill, stopped the car and asked for help before collapsing.

Cotto Sr., who served in the Puerto Rican National Guard for 25 years and worked the Cotto's corner during the fighter's loss to Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 14, was very close to his son.
