According to reports, Trejo’s club confirmed the tragic news through an official statement, expressing its deepest condolences to the player and his family. The club also extended support during this difficult time as messages of sympathy poured in from supporters and fellow footballers.
Media reports state that Trejo’s wife, Yanina Maranila, along with their two children, Aaron Trejo and Ainhoa Trejo, were staying in the coastal area of Playa Grande when the powerful earthquake struck. Their residential building reportedly collapsed, trapping those inside beneath the rubble.
Following the disaster, the family was initially reported missing while rescue teams searched the affected area. After intensive recovery efforts, emergency responders sadly confirmed the deaths of all three family members.
