How were the victims identified? Diogo Jota and his brother's death,

For more than 24 hours, the football world has been in mourning, emotionally devastated after the news of the passing of Liverpool's Portuguese striker, Diogo Jota.

Jota died in the early hours of Thursday morning after a motorway accident in Spain. He was just 28 years old and was travelling in a car with his brother, 26-year-old Andre Silva.

He left behind three children (one baby) and the wife he had been in a relationship with since school. The Liverpool ace and his brother were 70km from Valladolid and were on their way to Santander. From there, the 28-year-old would take the boat to Portsmouth and then head to Liverpool.

Liverpool's training camp begins on Tuesday (8/7) and the player wanted to be there early to get settled in. Santander is 350 km away from the scene of the accident and, as the report indicates, the two players were to spend the night at a motel in the area and continue to their destination in the morning.

The question that needs to be answered is why Zota's luxury car was reduced to a pile of metal. The two brothers were burned in the fire that broke out after the crash and could not be identified by their relatives.

However, according to "O Jogo", Diogo Jota's parents and wife traveled to Spain, visited the Zamora Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences and identified the two bodies through artifacts. The footballer's wife, whom he married 12 days ago, confirmed the license plate number to authorities.

Only in this way was it possible to identify the two brothers, who will remain unforgettable not only by their family and friends, but across the globe.
