FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has expressed deep distress after Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel died following a collision between them during Monday’s Spanish second-division match. According to the Guardian, De Miguel suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest, was taken to hospital and died on Tuesday without regaining consciousness. He was 30.
Spanish national police have opened an investigation covering the events before his death and the medical attention he received. Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s chief prosecutor told EFE that criminal proceedings against Owono were very unlikely. Andorra said it was providing psychological support to those at the club who needed it. Owono also received support from teammates and the Equatoguinean Football Federation.
The emergency response remains an unresolved part of the account. Tenerife said medics restored De Miguel’s pulse in the ambulance, while an emergency-care association leader cited conflicting information about when and where that happened. The club’s majority shareholder said he would await the autopsy and investigation before drawing conclusions.
