Spain’s National Police are investigating Jesús Owono, goalkeeper of FC Andorra, for involuntary manslaughter after the death of Jesús de Miguel, a Tenerife striker, according to El País. The investigation, coordinated by a judge, concerns the collision between the two players during a Spanish second-division match.
Jesús de Miguel, aged 30, suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest after the collision and died early on Tuesday morning. The authorities must examine sporting responsibility and any potential criminal responsibility separately, according to El País.
Jesús Owono has also been subjected to abuse on social media since the death was announced. The goalkeeper disabled comments on his accounts after some supporters called him a “murderer”.
