Personal life edit

Falasca was born in Mendoza, Argentina. His grandfather came from Italy. His father, Juan Carlos, was a retired volleyball player from Argentina, and his mother was a native Spaniard.[2] At the age of 15, due to the unstable economic situation in Argentina, the Falasca family decided to move to Spain.[2] Miguel, his sister María Elisa, his younger brother Guillermo, and his parents settled in Málaga.[2] He eventually married Esther Custodio.[2] They had two children: a daughter, Sara (born 2004), and a son, Daniel (born 2002).[2]

Death edit

On 21 June 2019, Falasca was at the wedding of his friend and assistant of the Saugella Monza club in Italy, when he felt ill and went to his hotel room.[3] He died of a heart attack the next day at the age of 46[4] in Varese, where he was staying with his wife,[5] despite a resuscitation attempt.[6]
