Tragedy at Super Bowl LIV: Promising journalist found dead in hotel

But instead of reporting from the bright lights of the stadium, his name is now making headlines for a heartbreaking reason.

Third year covering the Super Bowl

Adan Manzano, a talented broadcast journalist, was in New Orleans covering Super Bowl LIV for both Telemundo Kansas City and Tico Sports.

He lived and breathed sports, pouring his heart into covering both the games and his community with unmatched dedication.

The excitement of being part of a historic Super Bowl, especially with The Kansas City Chiefs striving to three-peat, was a dream come true for him. As Telemundo Kansas City’s only journalist in New Orleans, he embodied what it meant to be fully invested in his work.

This was his third straight year covering the Super Bowl, having previously worked in the broadcast booth. In 2024, he was promoted to sideline reporter, a moment he couldn’t have imagined happening so quickly. ”I used to dream about this, but I never expected it would come so soon. It’s just a blessing,” he shared.

Found him unresponsive

But tragically, the 27-year-old was found dead on February 6, 2025. He was found unresponsive in his hotel in Kenner, La., just outside of New Orleans, NOLA.com reported. On Thursday, February 7, the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s office confirmed that Adan Manzano was found dead at a hotel in Kenner.

The office stated that “there were no obvious signs of trauma to his body.”

Although an autopsy has been conducted, officials have stated that the final cause of death is still pending additional testing.

KGKC Telemundo Kansas City confirmed the heartbreaking news, honoring Manzano’s promising career and the incredible potential he displayed in his work.

“Adan was an exceptional professional and a rising star whose dedication and talent reflected excellence in his work,” the news station said. “We will deeply miss Adan, his passion for sports and the contributions he made to the local community.”

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas also honored the life of Adan Manzano, saying, ”Adan was so young and full of energy, and truly covered almost every event in the community. So very sad to see this news. My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.”

Dedicated sideline reporter

Adan Manzano, originally from Mexico City according to Daily Mail, graduated from Kansas State University before making his mark with the Chiefs Television Crew.

He joined the team as a sideline reporter at the start of the previous NFL season, as reported by Fox affiliate KCTV. The young journalist was widely praised for his sideline reporting on the Kansas City Chiefs’ Spanish-language broadcasts, as well as his role as the play-by-play announcer for the KC Current.

Bringing the game of football to a Spanish-speaking audience was something Adan Manzano excelled at – and was truly passionate about.

“The Kansas City Chiefs are growing so fast in Mexico City,” Manzano told NBC affiliate KSNT-TV  last year and added:

“Bringing that to the Spanish community because the Hispanic and Latinos — they’ve supported soccer culturally and historically, but there’s always a space where football can be the favorite sport. That’s why I think it’s important.”

In a heartfelt tribute, KGKC Telemundo Kansas City shared, ”He will be greatly missed by our TICO Family and will live on in our hearts and memories.”

The station also said that they were “cooperating with authorities as they investigate this tragic event.”

Devoted father to a young daughter

In his personal life, Adan Manzano was a devoted father to his young daughter, Eleanor. Tragically, Eleanor has now lost both of her parents.

Her mother, Ashleigh LeeAnn Boyd Manzano-Aguilar, passed away on April 11, 2024, at just 24 years old.

She was involved in a multiple-vehicle crash southwest of Topeka, leaving an infant passenger in her car with serious injuries. The driver of the other vehicle was also rushed to the hospital.

In an obituary, Ashleigh LeeAnn Boyd Manzano-Aguilar was remembered as “the kindest, most caring, and beautiful person.” Her radiant personality was described as contagious, always lighting up any room she entered. She was a true ray of sunshine, constantly wearing a smile that brightened the lives of everyone around her.

Adan Manzano also had a special Instagram description for his late wife: “Always in my heart @ashleighboyd37 ❤️🕊.”

Manzano deeply cherished his baby girl, who was just 15 months old when her mother passed away. Even when his daughter wasn’t with him on the field, he always found ways to include her in his life.

At the first media game hosted by Kansas City Current, he shared a collage of pictures, one of which showed him wearing a jersey with Eleanor’s name on the back. He captioned the post, “There is this girl who stole my heart and something tells me I am going to love her forever🎀.”

The loss of Adan Manzano is a heart-wrenching tragedy that has left a void in both the world of sports journalism and the lives of those who knew him.

His passion for his work, his love for his community, and his devotion to his daughter will never be forgotten. As we remember his vibrant spirit and remarkable career, our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who were touched by his presence. May his legacy continue to inspire and his memory live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Meghan Markle appears without makeup in new video

Despite all the rumors about tough times and bad business decisions, Meghan Markle continues her business venture with Netflix in the US.

Her new cooking show, With Love, Meghan, had to be postponed because of the tragic LA fires, while her husband, Prince Harry has put his focus on the Invictus Games. The couple has reportedly undergone a “professional separation,” with them being seen flying solo at events more than ever before.

Harry and Meghan haven’t been very active on social media over the last few years, but with the Duchess launching her new cooking show, she has returned to Instagram. In early February, she posted a video of herself at home, and did so without wearing makeup. In the past, such candid images have brought about rumors that she’s undergone some sort of plastic surgery.

Readers may remember that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a massive deal with Netflix years ago. They also made millions dollars through a Spotify deal which later got canceled. On top of that, the couple has released their own documentary series, Harry & Meghan, the documentary Live to LeadThe Heart of Invictus, and a new documentary about polo on Netflix. Now, it’s time for their fifth Netflix release, though this time it’s Meghan who till take center stage.

Earlier this year, it was announced that the Duchess would feature in a new show titled With Love, Meghan. The cooking and lifestyle program will play out at Harry and Megan’s multimillion-dollar mansion in Montecito, California. The show consists of eight episodes, in which Meghan will cook with guests and share smart and creative lifestyle hacks.

The show includes guests such as her former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, chef Roy Choi, actress-producer Mindy Kalin, and restauranteur Alice Waters.

“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team [at Netflix]. Beyond grateful for the support — and fun!” Markle wrote on Instagram as she published the trailer for the show.

Speculation about Harry and Meghan not being able to renew their deal with Netflix due to the amount of content they’ve produced so far have been circulating for months.

Meghan Markle to launch new lifestyle Netflix series

However, Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said she is “excited” for what’s next with the Duke and Duchess, stating that the streaming giant will stand by them. She also told the Daily Mail that she believes With Love, Meghan will be a huge hit.

“We have Meghan’s new show coming out, which is great. It is such a great take on a lifestyle show and showcase for California, Montecito and nature. It really has great takeaways. I was like ‘oh my God, I want to really do that pasta.’ There’s really easy great takeaways on life. I am really excited about that coming out,” Bajaria said.

Notably, Meghan did not undertake any interviews leading up to the release of her show. However, at the Golden Globes, Mindi Kaling, the former actress’s friend, spoke on the production.

“I was just in my maternity leave, and Meghan texted me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to come be in my show and come to Montecito and have me cook for you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that sounds perfect, I would love to do that,’” Kaling said.

“Wel,l I think of myself as kind of an okay cook, but she unsurprisingly blew me out of the water. The thing about her recipes and being there was that it was just really accessible. She has a garden from scratch, which I could never do, and chickens. They would probably all die if I tried to take care of chickens,” she continued, adding that Harry, too, “knows his way around a kitchen.”

“I learned a lot from her”

Meghan Markle’s former Suits co-star, Abigail Spencer, also opened up about the show in an interview with People Magazine. She said people will finally get an “authentic look” at the Duchess.

“Also, you’re gonna learn a lot. I learned a lot from her and she actually gets to teach me something on the show. I’m just so grateful… It’s really from her heart. It really is with love.”

Meghan’s show was set to air earlier this year, but it was postponed due to the tragic Los Angeles wildfires. Instead, a new release date has been set for early March.

The Duchess launched her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard last year, and with the aforementioned cooking show it looks as though she’s aiming to keep busy. According to royal broadcaster Helena Chard, though, she can’t expect to be “welcomed” into the lifestyle circle just yet.

“Meghan’s team have helped her put a huge amount of positive marketing and branding spin into her Netflix series,” Chard told Fox News.

“In time she may make a success within the lifestyle place. However, this will take a long time as Meghan’s character does not fit this sickly-sweet picture,” she added, saying the show feels “inauthentic.”

Meghan Markle appears without makeup in new video

“Like she is trying to fit in somehow by playing a very dated housewifey role… very odd and disempowering. She has spoken ill and ditched the majority of her family and friends, and this certainly doesn’t conjure a picture of love and joy,” the expert concluded.

As mentioned, Meghan hasn’t been on Instagram for a long time, but decided to make a comeback prior to the imminent arrival of the new Netflix series. So far, she has four posts on her page, which boasts more than two million followers. She posted her latest video on February 4, which was a special one indeed.

Meghan described how, during the Los Angeles wildfires, she and Harry visited the city of Altadena, where they met a mother and her 15-year-old daughter whose home burned down in the area.

Meghan described a teenager who told her that she had lost a t-shirt she got at a Billie Eilish concert in the fire. Meghan decided she wanted to help. The Duchess reached out to the musician, who sent over many things. In the Instagram video in question, Meghan had just received the packages at her home, which included a t-shirt and a lunch box.

“I don’t even know what this stuff means, but it’s signed for her!” Meghan said, jumping up and down.

“Huge thank you, Billie Eilish, this is going to mean so much to her, and honestly, to Adam Levine and Bahati, you guys helped me get this over the line, and to everyone who is showing up for people in big and small ways to get through what’s happened in California, just thank you so much. I’m going to go and email her mom now, just wanted to share with you guys.”

Meghan Markle reveals secret about skincare routine

In the video’s caption, Meghan also shared a heartfelt message to her followers, thanking the heroes doing their best to help rebuild the community.

“Let’s keep supporting those affected by the California wildfires,” the Duchess wrote. “Thanks to everyone who made this possible, but most importantly, thank you to our first responders, who are the community’s real heroes.”

Many people praised Meghan in the comments, but another detail also garnered attention. It was the first time in a very long time that the public got to see Meghan without makeup, sporting a natural glow instead.

Meghan – sadly, may we add – has been the subject of plastic surgery rumors in the past, and it was even speculated that she had gotten a nose job. Nothing has ever been confirmed, though one source inside the Sussexes’ office refuted the idea that Meghan had ever undergone surgery on her face.

All the same Meghan Markle looked great as she sported her natural glow, so what is her secret? In 2014, before meeting Prince Harry and welcoming their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the then-actress gave away her secret. Regarding her day-to-day look, she was very “low-key” and never wore foundation.

“I don’t wear foundation in real life. My routine is very simple — I call it the five-minute face,” she told Allure.

“Meghan looks best in neutral tones,” her makeup artist says

In an interview with Life and Style, Meghan’s makeup artist, Spencer Barnes, revealed that she is a big fan of enhancing her natural beauty.

“When I worked with Meghan, she was all about skin! She wanted her skin to look like skin but enhanced galore — glowing, radiant, and healthy — while subtly contoured so that the architecture of her face was maximized. Nuanced subtly was always key,” he said in 2020,” adding that Meghan loves “a peachy, radiant glow on the cheeks.”

“Skin and brows are two of the most powerful things you can do to a face to make or break it’s harmonious balance,” Spencer continued.

He concluded: “With her eyes, she liked deep, rich earthy browns & plums — but also gold tones, bronzes, and soft peaches. Things that would give a little highlight. We never really got into bold color on her eyes. Meghan looks best in neutral tones to ensure her beautiful, brown eyes were defined with a bit of wow.”
