Overview
- A man found dead in the Morera area on Tuesday was confirmed Thursday as the fourth street death in early 2026, with police reporting no signs of violence.
- The municipality said the man was Ukrainian, had a criminal record, and was not registered with local social services.
- One day after that discovery, a 52-year-old known locally as Jordi was found dead in Plaza Elisa Reverter, and the city said he had previously declined social-service assistance.
- Police have reported no indications of criminal violence in the recent cases, and in the most recent investigation they pointed to a likely natural cause.
- Local organizations link the deaths to service shortfalls and housing strain, citing the closure of Badalona’s only shelter, a lack of basic care centers, and roughly 60 evictions a month.
