Argentine footballer mourning loss of wife and two children after Venezuela’s deadly quakes

Argentine footballer Lucas Trejo, who plays in Venezuela’s second division, lost his wife Yanina and their two children after last week’s deadly earthquakes—the strongest to hit Venezuela in over a century. Trejo spent days searching rubble while his beachfront La Guaira home was destroyed; the club publicly mourned the loss and pledged support. The disaster has killed more than 1,400 people with many missing, and rescue operations—amid reports of other players dying—continue as authorities warn the critical 72-hour window for survivors has passed.
