The pair were found dead following the crash on the A-52 in Palacios de Sanabria near the city of Zamora in Spain at 12.40am on Thursday. The 28-year-old father of three, who had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso just 11 days ago, died in the crash alongside his brother Andre Silva after a Lamborghini they were travelling in veered off the road and burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout.
Parish priest Jose Manuel Macedo also told PA that a wake for the brothers will take place at 8am at the nearby Capela da Ressurreicao today (Friday 4 July) before their funeral tomorrow. Mourners are currently gathering in Portugal.
Police said they were investigating the possibility that the Lamborghini left the road because of a tyre blowout while overtaking, and a source from the government sub-delegation in Zamora confirmed “a possible speeding incident” was being looked at. No other vehicles are said to have been involved in the incident.
