A deeply emotional scene was recorded this afternoon at the Zamora Institute of Forensic Medicine in northern Spain, where Rute Jota, the wife of renowned Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota, arrived to face the most painful moment of her life.
Liverpool star Diogo Jota has died alongside his brother Andre Silva in a tragic accident that has shocked the football world and beyond. Rute Jota was among relatives seen crying and comforting each other in the morgue, where grief and sadness had taken over everything.
According to Spanish media, it was Rute who helped authorities identify her husband's body. A difficult but necessary act, which only the strength of a woman who has shared her life with Jota since adolescence could handle. They had been together for years and had built a family with three children.
Footage published by Spanish media shows the moment Diogo Jota's body leaves the morgue in a hearse.
