Roshan Khan, one of the pioneers of the game of squash in Pakistan, has died in Karachi at the age of 78.
He suffered a heart attack last year and had been in a coma for some time.
Roshan Khan first rose to international prominence when he won the British Open in 1957, following up with three wins in the US Open.
He was also the father of squash legend Jahangir Khan, who won the British Open a record 10 times as Pakistan dominated the world game.
