Overview
- The 61-year-old's body, found Saturday morning in the Canal de Moeño, was near his last known position.
- The search began Thursday evening after he phoned 1-1-2 saying he was lost, exhausted, and poorly equipped, then shared an approximate coordinate.
- The Castilla y León emergency center led a joint effort with Guardia Civil mountain units, the regional rescue group, drones, firefighters, and an advanced command post.
- Heavy snow and below-freezing temperatures slowed the operation through the first nights until clearer weather allowed teams to reach the area.
- Guardia Civil recovered the body and moved it to Riaño for judicial steps, with added support from Asturias and Cantabria, including the Asturias rescue helicopter.
