Brazilian volleyball player found dead in Spain
MADRID — A Brazilian volleyball player has been found dead at his home in Spain.
The Spanish volleyball federation said the body of 26-year-old Vinicius Noronha da Silva was found in the eastern city of Teruel after he failed to report for his club’s trip for a preseason match.
Club president Carlos Ranera told daily Marca on Monday that one of Silva’s teammates found him dead after going to his home to check on him.
