According to the Guardian, Spanish football was left stunned on Tuesday by the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, who was 30 years old. The Guardian reported that he suffered the fatal injury during a second-division fixture when he collided with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono while contesting the ball, taking a blow to the chest. Tenerife confirmed that he passed away at 8am on Tuesday. He had been admitted to intensive care on Monday afternoon and never woke up following a cardiorespiratory arrest. The national police homicide division has begun judicial proceedings concerning possible involuntary manslaughter, which the Guardian described as standard practice following a death that did not occur naturally. Santa Cruz de Tenerife's chief public prosecutor told the state news agency EFE that any court case would face major difficulties.
