Jesus De Miguel, a Tenerife striker, passed away after sustaining severe injuries during a Spanish second-division match against FC Andorra on Monday. The 30-year-old suffered head and chest injuries following a collision with goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who was dismissed for his challenge. De Miguel's condition was initially described as 'stable but serious,' but it worsened on Tuesday, leading to his death at 07:00 GMT.

Spanish police have launched an investigation into his death, which could potentially be classified as involuntary manslaughter under Spanish law. Tenerife president Felipe Minambres expressed that club players and their partners will require professional assistance to cope with the tragic incident. The Spanish football federation has postponed Tuesday's Spanish Cup fixtures following De Miguel's death.
