The bodies of Liverpool and Portugal national team footballer Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who were killed in a road accident in Spain`s northern province of Zamora, have arrived in Portugal. Their remains reached Gondomar, their hometown near Porto, where funeral services are scheduled for tomorrow.
Following autopsy examinations at the Anatomo-Forensic Institute in Zamora, Spain, the bodies were transported to the Portuguese town. Upon their arrival last night at the Chapel of the Resurrection in Gondomar Cathedral, they were met by dozens of fans who gathered to pay their respects and offer a final ovation, according to reports from Portuguese media outlets, including Jurnal de Noticias.
Family members of the two men have already arrived at the chapel. A large turnout is anticipated for the wake, which is set to begin at 4 pm today, a day marked by official mourning across Portugal. High-profile figures, including Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, are expected to attend.
