Body of Missing 52-Year-Old Pontevea Man Recovered From River Ulla

Recovery followed days of searching in the swollen, turbid Ulla.

Overview

  • The Guardia Civil confirmed the recovery, concluding a multi-day operation near A Estrada and Teo.
  • A friend searching the area spotted a bulge in the water and located the body about 200 meters from the parked car.
  • Specialist GEAS divers verified the discovery and removed the remains from the river.
  • Search teams had combed several kilometers since Wednesday as heavy rains left the river fast-flowing and murky.
  • The case was flagged after his daughter reported finding his car by the medieval bridge with the doors open and the keys inside.
