There is a HUGE mourning for football lovers because of the death of Argentine football player Lucas Trejo and his family due to two powerful earthquakes in Venezuela on June 24. At that time, the player was in Caracas playing in the Copa Venezuela match.
When he heard that disaster had struck his hometown of La Guaira, he quickly left and went back to check on the situation at his home. When Lucas arrived, he found rescue workers working in the ruins of a collapsed building in Playa Grande. Without hesitation, he joined firefighters, volunteers, friends, and local residents in the search. After 74 hours he faced a difficult situation when rescuers pulled out the bodies of his wife Yanina and their two children, five-year-old Aarón and seven-year-old Ainhoa from under the rubble.
Venezuelan football player Edson Tortolero, who was helping to search for the family, is the one who is said to have confirmed this sad news. Deportivo La Guaira also released a statement expressing their condolences and support for Lucas at this difficult time.
The earthquake destroyed many buildings throughout Venezuela, destroying homes, businesses and entire neighborhoods.
The rescue team continued to search for survivors as the death toll continued to rise. This tragedy has claimed more than 900 lives, leaving thousands of families in mourning and many others homeless.
