Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother were killed in a car accident in Spain when the Lamborghini they were seen off a road and burst into flames, police said Thursday.
The Spanish Civil Guard confirmed to The Associated Press that the 28-year-old Jota and his 25-year-old brother, André Silva, were found dead near the northwestern city of Zamora.
Jota’s death comes weeks after he married Rute Cardoso while on vacation from a long season where he helped Liverpool win the Premier League title.
Police were investigating the causes of the accident that occurred last midnight local time. They said there were no other vehicles involved and that the brothers were alone in the car. The bodies were undergoing forensic analysis.
It wasn’t clear who was driving the car. Police were looking into the hypothesis that the accident happened because of a blown tire while they tried to overtake another vehicle.
Liverpool said the club was “devastated by the tragic passing.”
