Man Found Dead in Madrid’s Casa de Campo Lake

Investigators favor a medical-incident hypothesis pending autopsy confirmation.

Overview

  • Passersby spotted the body around 14:00 on Tuesday near Paseo de María Teresa and alerted authorities.
  • Firefighters recovered the corpse from the lake after emergency services responded to the scene.
  • The deceased was described as a man of about 40 to 50 years old wearing sports clothing and sneakers.
  • Police reported no apparent signs of violence following an initial inspection, with cause of death yet to be determined.
  • Investigators’ leading theory is a health problem during exercise leading to a fall into the water, and notable body rigidity suggests he had been dead for several hours.
