His Death
Days after Del Toro cut ties with Seibu, he was traveling with two companions in Obregon. Del Toro's car collided with an agricultural tractor, killing Del Toro and his two companions. Miguel died at age 29. Del Toro was survived by his expecting wife, Eloisa, and two children Miguel Jr, and Rosario.
The Giants honored Miguel's life with a brief moment of silence and Seibu left his Japanese League No. 32 unworn for the following season.
