Jesús de Miguel: autopsy points to accidental chest trauma
The preliminary report calls the chest blow accidental; toxicology and the final forensic report are pending and the judge keeps investigating.
The preliminary autopsy report on Jesús de Miguel, the 30-year-old Tenerife striker, attributes his death to an accidental chest trauma, according to El Día. He died on Tuesday at the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria, after a collision with the FC Andorra goalkeeper, Jesús Owono, in Monday's match at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López.
The document, handed to judge Eva Esther Juárez Fernández on Wednesday, considers the trauma a cause compatible with death, but toxicology tests, the CT scan from his admission and other checks are still missing. The investigation remains open and also reviews the care he received on the pitch and the ambulance transfer.
The match report says Owono used excessive force in a challenge for the ball after the 96th minute. Meanwhile, the court has authorised the transfer of the body to the Spanish mainland for burial. Owono has said these are the hardest days of his life.
