Overview
- A citizen alert at 11:10 a.m. reported a possible fall into the water near the mouth of the Urumea in Donostia.
- Ertzaintza and fire crews retrieved the body around 12:30 using a ladder after high winds and waves slowed the operation.
- AEMET had an orange alert in effect as Storm Goretti brought gusts over 120 km/h that complicated the response.
- Municipal sources report the man likely fell by the Kursaal bridge corner and was carried by the current to Paseo de Salamanca.
- The body was transferred to the Basque Institute of Legal Medicine, and the Ertzaintza has an open investigation into the cause of death.
