Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel dies after collision with Andorra goalkeeper; police open investigation
Photo: CBS NewsTenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, 30, died Tuesday morning after being struck in the chest by Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a Spanish second-division match on Monday, and Spanish police have opened an investigation. The collision happened in added time near midfield with the score tied 2-2, and the match was abandoned. De Miguel suffered cardiac arrest, and his pulse was restored in the ambulance. He was admitted to intensive care at the University Hospital of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Santa Cruz. Tenerife said his neurological condition worsened, and later announced his death at 8 a.m. Spain's National Police said proceedings were opened for possible involuntary manslaughter, with prosecutors involved. Court officials said any death not from natural causes triggers a judicial investigation, and police are also examining the medical response. Tenerife said it was heartbroken, and De Miguel's family asked for privacy.
Right-leaning outlets split. The Daily Wire gives a straight account, relying on BBC and Spanish media reports, describing the collision, the players crying and the club's statement, and it does not mention the investigation in the text provided. The Daily Mail leads with new stand footage of Owono arguing with the rival goalkeeper after red cards, calls the tackle "reckless" and says a homicide squad is investigating, with police probing the medical team. CBS News, on the left, leads with the manslaughter inquiry and the police statement, then the club's statements and the family's privacy request, and leaves out the footage and red cards. All three agree on the 2-2 score, the knee-to-chest contact and the death. Alternative or independent outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left- and right-leaning outlets had.
