The family members of Spanish star Jesus de Miguel have been thrown into mourning following the tragic death of the striker on November 3.
CD Tenerife star De Miguel suffered a heart attack following a serious collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a league match.
It was gathered that an onrushing Owono seemed to have planted his knee right on the chest of the striker, who immediately suffered a cardiac arrest.
The referee flashed a straight red at the goalkeeper, who appeared to walk away unbothered, while other players on the pitch screamed for medical attention.
Miguel was eventually rushed to the hospital, but CD Tenerife announced hours later that the 30-year-old striker could not survive the incident.
His passing has thrown his longtime partner, Maria and their daughter, Carla, into deep mourning.
According to Commercial Hotel Morphet, Miguel welcomed his first and only child in 2025 when Maria delivered their baby girl.
The news was publicly celebrated by CD Castellon, which congratulated the footballer and his partner on becoming parents.
The club shared a message welcoming Carla and extending its best wishes to the growing family. The club wrote:
“Congratulations to Jesús de Miguel on his recent fatherhood! The black-and-white footballer and his partner, María, have become parents to Carla de Miguel Fernández. Congratulations, Demi and family!”
