Uruguayan daily 'El Pais' reported on the 4th (local time) that he died not long after joining the team to join the pre-season of Acuña, an Ecuadorian club named Mushuk Luna.
Acuña was found dead at a hotel in the Ambato area, according to the media. Chairman Luis Alfonso Mushuk Luna said `Aquña died at a hotel in Ambato City. We are shocked by this fact, and we will provide all support for the death process."
Acuña arrived in Ambato to join the team on the 3rd after a break. At the airport, he said "The first training session to have a good pre-season awaits. We will strive to perform well in national and international tournaments, which are the goals that teams and clubs want." It was left as the last word in his life.
At the end of December last year, Acuña was accused of sexual violence by his former partner and was sentenced to attach an electronic anklet by Ecuador's Ministry of Justice. He explained to me on his personal social media that the judge had taken such measures as a precautionary measure. Not because I'm guilty."

Acuña said the electronic anklets gave him "peace of mind". It is because it has helped to "end years of detrimental relationships".
Partner Lou Rodriguez, who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Acuña, said on social media in December that everyone around him had closed their ears. He "I tried to avoid this moment for years, out of fear, out of respect for children, out of love. But everything escalated and turned into physical violence. It has reached the point where I am not ashamed to assault me in front of my family. He knows, his family knows, everyone knows. They only move on money."
Acuña responded "I have two daughters. I hope my daughters get the care they deserve to be respected. I was born to a woman. Thank you to those who gave me a big hug."
Acuña, a former striker, played mostly in the Uruguayan lower leagues, including Central, Liverpool, Wanderers, and Penix. He joined Muschuk Luna in July last year and renewed his contract by scoring eight goals in 15 matches in Ecuador's Serie A (first division).
