Spanish police have opened an involuntary manslaughter investigation following the death of Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, who died on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old striker passed away under circumstances that have prompted authorities to launch a criminal inquiry. De Miguel, who played for the Canary Islands club in Spain's second division, was found dead on November 3, 2026.
Details surrounding the cause of death have not been publicly disclosed, but the decision to pursue a manslaughter investigation suggests authorities suspect criminal negligence or recklessness may have contributed to the player's passing.
Tenerife, officially known as Club Deportivo Tenerife, has not yet released an official statement regarding the investigation. The club competes in La Liga Hypermotion, the second tier of Spanish professional football.
De Miguel joined Tenerife in 2024 after previous spells with clubs including Racing Santander and CF Intercity. He made 12 appearances for the team during the 2024-25 season, scoring two goals.
