Jota and his brother, André Silva, died in a horrific car crash on July 3, 2025, near Cernadilla in Zamora, Spain.
Authorities believe a tyre on their Lamborghini Huracán burst while overtaking on the A 52 motorway, causing the car to veer off the road, crash, and ignite. Both brothers were declared dead at the scene.
Initial investigations indicate Jota was driving and that the vehicle may have been speeding
The couple married on June 22, 2025, just 11 days before the crash, and already shared three children: sons Dinis and Duarte, and baby daughter Mafalda.
Jota, 28, had recently joined Liverpool in 2020 for around €44–€45 million, scoring 65 goals in 182 appearances, and helped the club clinch a Premier League title in the 2024/25 season
