Spanish sports clubs and bodies mourned the death of former La Liga player Pelayo Novo, who died at the age of 32 when he was hit by a train in the northwestern city of Oviedo.

The accident occurred on Tuesday, when the competent authorities received a report that a train had hit a person on the Renfe line between the cities of Oviedo and Cerro, but the police were unable to save him when they got there, and investigations are now underway to find out the causes of the accident and whether it was voluntary.

Novo had played in a number of clubs in the Spanish Football League "La Liga", including Elche, Cordoba and Albacete, before he fell from the third floor of a hotel 5 years ago, and moved to practicing ground tennis in a wheelchair.
