Super Bowl 2025: Kansas City Sports Reporter Adan Manzano Passes Away Ahead of Game in New Orleans

Kansas City sports reporter Adan Manzano tragically passed away in New Orleans this week while covering the Chiefs' upcoming Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Manzano, 27, died on Wednesday in the city, as confirmed by Telemundo Kansas City and Tico Sports on Thursday afternoon. Details surrounding his death have not been disclosed, but both organizations are cooperating with local authorities, and an investigation is underway.

“As KGKC’s sports anchor and reporter, Adan was a true professional and a rising star who exemplified excellence in his work,” said the network in a statement. “We will deeply miss Adan and his passion for sports, as well as the significant contributions he made to the local community. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”

Originally from Mexico City, Manzano moved to Topeka, Kansas, in 2018 and graduated from Kansas State. He had been with Telemundo Kansas City since 2021 and was preparing to cover his third Super Bowl with the station.

In addition to his work with Telemundo, Manzano was also covering the game for Tico Sports as part of their Spanish broadcast team.

“Adan was a talented and professional broadcaster, providing sideline coverage for the Kansas City Chiefs Spanish broadcast and serving as play-by-play caller for the KC Current,” Tico Sports said in their statement. “He was an enthusiastic and energetic team player who was well liked and respected. Adan was a devoted father to his young daughter, a helpful colleague, and a loyal friend. He will be greatly missed by our Tico family and will live on in our hearts and memories.”

Manzano is survived by his daughter, Eleanor. His wife, Ashleigh, tragically passed away in a car accident last April, according to Fox 4.
