Spanish police investigate death of Tenerife striker after collision with Andorra goalkeeper
Spain's National Police homicide unit in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Jesús de Miguel, a Tenerife striker. Sky News Arabia reported that he died on Tuesday of cardiorespiratory arrest after a violent collision with Andorra's goalkeeper during a second-division match. RT Arabic reported that the Andorra goalkeeper is under heavy pressure since the incident.
Why it matters
The investigation is the body responsible for establishing what happened, so early claims about any party's responsibility should be treated with caution. The case is likely to draw attention from Arab fans who follow Spanish football.
Background
The Segunda División is the second tier of Spanish football, where clubs compete for promotion to the top flight. Contact between strikers and goalkeepers inside the box is a routine part of the game. When police open an investigation into a sudden death, the aim is to establish the circumstances, and it does not in itself amount to an accusation against anyone.
Key points
- RT Arabic named the Andorra goalkeeper involved as Jesús Owono.
- According to RT Arabic, de Miguel died on the morning after the match between the two teams.
How outlets covered it
Sky News Arabia focused on the official angle, reporting that the National Police homicide group is investigating the circumstances, and it gave the cause of death as cardiorespiratory arrest. RT Arabic focused on Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono and the pressure he faces, and the excerpt provided does not mention a police investigation. RT Arabic's headline puts the word "the killer" in quotation marks, while Sky News Arabia's text simply describes a violent collision. Both outlets agree that the death followed a collision between de Miguel and the Andorra goalkeeper during the match. They phrase the timing of the death differently: Tuesday in Sky News Arabia, and the morning after the match in RT Arabic.
