The cause of dєatᩚh has been revealed for Spanish soccer player Jesús de Miguel, who passed away at just 30 years old after a devastating collision with an opposing goalkeeper during a professional match. A preliminary autopsy found that he suffered accidental chest trauma, providing new details about the incident that shocked the football world.

The football community is mourning the loss of Jesús de Miguel, a forward for Spanish club CD Tenerife, who died in hospital on the morning of November 3, 2026.

His dєatᩚh came just hours after a frightening collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a second-division match in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

What began as an ordinary football match quickly became a devastating emergency, leaving players, supporters, and medical personnel desperately hoping that the young athlete would survive.

He was only 30 years old.

PRELIMINARY AUTOPSY REVEALS CAUSE OF dєatᩚh

On November 5, new information emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding De Miguel’s passing.

According to a preliminary autopsy conducted by Tenerife’s Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, the footballer died from accidental chest trauma.

The findings were reported by local Spanish publications El Día and Canarias7.

The forensic examination determined that the chest injury was consistent with the circumstances surrounding his dєatᩚh.

However, the investigation remains ongoing. Additional medical examinations and toxicology results are still pending.

Investigators are also expected to review information from a CT scan performed during his hospital treatment.

The preliminary findings have provided an important step toward understanding the medical circumstances of the tᩚraɢedy, but they do not represent the completion of the judicial investigation.

THE COLLISION THAT SHOCKED THE STADIUM

The incident occurred on Monday, November 2, during a match between CD Tenerife and FC Andorra at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López.

With the score tied 2-2 and the match approaching its final moments, De Miguel was chasing a long ball near the halfway line.

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono rushed out of his penalty area in an attempt to reach the ball.

As the two players converged, Owono’s raised knee struck De Miguel directly in the chest.

The impact sent the Tenerife forward down onto the field.

He initially dropped to his knees, clutching his torso, before falling backward.

Players from both teams immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation and called for medical assistance.

The referee stopped the match as medical personnel rushed onto the pitch.

Owono was shown a straight red card and initially began walking away, but he soon turned back and joined the other players surrounding De Miguel.

The match was eventually abandoned.

MEDICAL TEAMS FOUGHT TO SAVE HIS LIFE

Medical personnel immediately began treating De Miguel on the field.

According to reports, he suffered cardiac arrest following the collision.

His pulse was reportedly restored during the ambulance journey, and he was transported to the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The club initially described his condition as serious but stable.

Unfortunately, his health later deteriorated.

In the early hours of November 3, CD Tenerife announced that De Miguel had passed away at approximately 8 a.m. local time.

The club released an emotional statement expressing its devastation and extending its condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and supporters.

AUTHORITIES OPEN JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION

Following his dєatᩚh, Spain’s National Police opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Under Spanish law, deaths resulting from non-natural causes are subject to judicial investigation, including accidental deaths.

The Second Investigative Court of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is overseeing the inquiry.

The referee’s official match report described the goalkeeper’s challenge as involving “excessive force” while competing for the ball.

Investigators are examining the circumstances of the collision, as well as the medical treatment De Miguel received after collapsing and the events surrounding his transfer to hospital.

The investigation does not automatically mean that criminal charges will follow.

The final legal assessment will depend on the evidence and the findings of the judicial authorities.

A WIFE AND YOUNG DAUGHTER LEFT BEHIND

Away from the football field, De Miguel was a husband and father.

He leaves behind his wife, María, and their young daughter, Carla, who was born in 2025.

His sudden passing has left his family facing an unimaginable loss.

Following his dєatᩚh, authorities authorized the transfer of his body to his family’s home province of Toledo, in central Spain.

His funeral took place on Thursday, November 5, with members of the Tenerife team and club representatives attending to pay their final respects.

FOOTBALL WORLD PAYS TRIBUTE

Tributes quickly arrived from across the international football community.

FC Barcelona and Real Madrid were among the clubs that expressed their condolences.

Players and supporters also observed moments of silence in his memory.

Andorra’s president and former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué shared a message expressing his sorrow over the tᩚraɢedy.

The goalkeeper involved in the collision, Jesús Owono, also expressed his immense pain following De Miguel’s dєatᩚh.

Owono subsequently faced a wave of online 𝘢bu𝘴e, prompting concern from his national football federation and supporters.

Equatorial Guinea’s football federation expressed solidarity with the goalkeeper, acknowledging the emotional impact of the incident.

CD Tenerife also announced a memorial ceremony at its stadium for Saturday, November 7, inviting supporters to gather and remember the player.

The club said the event would celebrate his contribution, his goals, and the memories he created during his time with Tenerife.

A PROMISING CAREER CUT SHORT

Born in Madrid in 1996, Jesús de Miguel worked his way through Spanish football over several years.

He began his senior career with Leganés B in 2015 before playing for a number of clubs, including Inter Madrid, Fuenlabrada, Navalcarnero, Unionistas de Salamanca, and Castellón.

He made a particularly strong impression at Castellón, where he became the club’s leading scorer during its promotion campaign to Spain’s second division in 2024.

In 2025, he joined CD Tenerife on a three-year contract.

During his first season with the club, he scored 11 goals and helped Tenerife secure promotion from the third division.

His career was continuing to develop, and he had much more to give to the sport.

But his journey ended far too soon.

At just 30 years old, De Miguel leaves behind a family, teammates, friends, and supporters who will remember him for his dedication to football.

He stepped onto the pitch to compete in a match, never knowing it would become his final appearance. His passing has left an entire football community grieving, while his family faces a loss that words cannot begin to describe.

Rest in peace, Jesús de Miguel.
