Medical personnel immediately began resuscitation efforts before transporting the soccer player to Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria. During the transfer, he suffered cardiac arrest, but his heart function was successfully restored. Despite subsequent medical treatment, he died on November 3 at approximately 8:00 a.m.

A preliminary autopsy identified accidental traumatic chest injury as the cause of death. Police launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, but prosecutors considered criminal proceedings unlikely. Jesús de Miguel left behind a wife and a one-year-old daughter.

Goalkeeper Jesús Owono later expressed deep regret over the tragic incident, stating that he would never forget Jesús de Miguel or his family. CD Tenerife subsequently announced through its management that it would financially support the soccer player’s one-year-old daughter, Carla, until she turns 18. The club’s management also emphasized that it intends to provide the family with all the support they need in the years ahead.
