Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER footballer turned DJ, whose father alleges police killed, died after trespassing and threatening a neighbour with a knife, cops have insisted. The family of Italian DJ Michele Noschese has accused Spanish cops of assaulting him at his Ibizan home.

They say the former Napoli youth player, also known as as DJ Godzi, died in custody after being beaten by officers responding to a noise complaint. The Civil Guard insist they tried to save the 35-year-old DJ's life after they rushed to aid an OAP he was reportedly threatening with a knife. They added that he went into convulsions when they arrived to find him "under the effects of drugs and suffering hallucinations." A spokesman for the force said: "On Saturday morning, the Civil Guard responded to an alert about threats in Santa Eulalia in Ibiza. "On arrival, they found that a person with visible signs of being under the influence of narcotic substances was suffering from hallucinations and had jumped into the home of his elderly neighbour, threatening this person with a knife. "The officers tried to restrain the assailant, at which point he began to convulse. "They tried to revive him by performing CPR until the arrival of the medical services, but were unsuccessful and he died at the scene. "The appropriate investigation is currently underway and a report will be handed over to the competent judicial authority." The elderly neighbour's daughter appeared to back the Spanish police version of events. Shocking moment Marbella cop slaps sunbather as two people are arrested She told a local paper in Ibiza: "His body is still bruised because he was struggling for a long time. "He has a trauma and doesn't even remember that the DJ had a knife. His shoulder is bad and his foot is also bruised because he was stepping on it the whole time. "My father is very sad about this situation." She said the Italian was someone who held parties regularly but had never threatened her father before. He had jumped into his balcony around 8am on Saturday while he was sleeping, she claimed. But his family has filed a complaint with the Spanish courts and the Naples Prosecutor's Office. His dad told Italian media: "My son died while he was in the custody of the Spanish police." Post-mortem results from the autopsy carried out following the DJ's death will be sent directly to an investigating court and are not expected to be made public. Fulvio Martusciello, MEP for the Forza Italia political party, said: "We want to know the truth about Michele Noschese's death. "We want to understand what happened and what the Civil Guard's responsibility is. "The sudden death of a young, successful and well-liked Neapolitan, an internationally renowned DJ, cannot remain in the shadows." Michele said in 2023 that he got interested in music when he was 15 - and lived in London for two years when he was younger. The economics graduate played in Serie C with Cavese and Benevento as well as Napoli's youth team. He was offered the chance to play professionally in the Swiss top flight, but turned it down to become a DJ instead. 5 Michele Noschese, aka DJ Godzi, was just 35 Credit: Jam Press
