The wife of former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers drowned on Monday.


The 62-year-old's body was found in a swimming pool in Fairview, Gqeberha.


She's believed to have been visiting family at the time.


Eastern Cape police spokesperson Sandra Janse Van Rensburg confirmed that no foul play was suspected in Theresa's sudden death.


"An investigation is pending in anticipation of the finalised post-mortem report," she added on Wednesday.


It's the second tragedy to hit the family in less than three years.
