Spanish football clubs, players and institutions en masse have sent their condolences to the family of Alvaro Prieto, who has been found dead at the age of just 18.
Prieto has been missing since Thursday has been the subject of a police investigation which today found him dead in Seville at Santa Justa train station. He was found between two train carriages, with police treating his death as suspicious.
The story made national news after a live RTVE report broadcast Prieto’s body being taken away by police by accident, and have since apologised for the images. Marca say Prieto’s family intend to submit a formal complaint against the police, RTVE and Renfe, the national train company, for negligence as a result.
