RIP. Tenerife forward dies in intensive care after cardiac arrest on the pitch

Spanish football has been plunged into the deepest mourning: CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel Alameda passed away on the morning of Tuesday, November 3, in the intensive care unit.

Details: The island club’s press service officially announced the devastating loss. The forward’s heart stopped at 8:00 a.m.; doctors had fought for the player’s life for 24 hours after the league match against Andorra, in which he lost consciousness and suffered respiratory arrest following a devastating blow to the chest.

Tenerife’s statement emphasized that the club was devastated by the tragedy and expressed its boundless solidarity with the family of the deceased player. Jesús de Miguel’s loved ones thanked fans around the world for their heartfelt support and asked for sensitivity and respect for their privacy during these difficult hours of mourning.
