The wife and two children of Argentine footballer Lucas Trejo have died after powerful twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, his team said on Sunday.

Trejo, who plays for Club Sport Maritimo La Guaira, a second-division team in Venezuela, had searched for his wife Yanina and children Aaron and Ainhoa in the rubble for three days before rescue workers recovered their bodies.

Trejo was at a team training camp in Caracas when the quakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck on Wednesday evening. He immediately returned to his home in La Guaira.

Nearly 1,500 people have died and tens of thousands are still unaccounted for, Venezuelan authorities said on Sunday.

May their souls rest in peace.
