An island in mourning: Tenerife processes death of De Miguel

The sense of loss has extended far beyond the stadium.

Poli Suarez, the Canary Islands' minister for education and sport, said Tenerife was in "complete mourning".

"Canarian sport has been left devastated," Suarez told BBC Sport. "The club is broken. Absolutely heartbroken."

Suarez also stressed that the thoughts of everyone were with De Miguel's wife, daughter and wider family.

"They are the ones suffering most directly from this loss, just as the Tenerife supporters are suffering," he said.

The government has pledged its support to the club, players and supporters, with Suarez describing De Miguel as a footballer who had become part of the Canary Islands' sporting history.
