30-year-old Jesús de Miguel has died following a violent on-field collision
The match between Tenerife and FC Andorra was abandoned after Jesús de Miguel collapsed following a stoppage-time collision, TMZ reports. The Spanish striker was taken to the hospital and died Tuesday morning after suffering cardiac arrest, according to the report.
TMZ's Short recounts the incident and its aftermath, showing match footage alongside a memorial screen for de Miguel. He had been chasing a long ball when the collision occurred near midfield. The presenter says initial reports had described his condition as stable, before news of his death emerged.
The report drew roughly 96,000 views in its first day, about twelve times the usual first-day audience for a TMZ Short. It is a substantially wider reach than the channel's short uploads ordinarily receive.
TMZ says Spanish police have opened an investigation and that no charges have been filed. The report also describes tributes from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, and says UEFA is holding a moment of silence.
