Investigation Launched After Death of CD Tenerife Striker
Spanish police have initiated an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter following the death of CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. The 30-year-old forward died in a hospital on November 3, 2026, after suffering a cardiac arrest due to a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a second-division match.
The collision occurred in stoppage time when Owono attempted to clear the ball but struck De Miguel in the chest. Medical personnel attended to De Miguel immediately, but his condition worsened, leading to his death.
The match was abandoned, and Owono was sent off. Spain’s National Police confirmed that prosecutors would be involved in the investigation, although authorities in the Canary Islands stated that a judicial inquiry is routine for non-natural deaths.
De Miguel had played a significant role in Tenerife's promotion to the Segunda División last season, receiving tributes from the football community, including UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin and La Liga president Javier Tebas.
