Overview
- A jet-ski pilot alerted authorities after spotting a man floating in the dársena of Tragove and a local mariner helped bring the body ashore where it has remained pending judicial authorization.
- The Guardia Civil and Policía Local cordoned the area and opened an investigation to determine how the man came to be in the water.
- Investigators say the deceased carried no identification, estimate his age at about 70 years, and note the mariner who recovered the body did not recognize him.
- Authorities are checking on-site evidence, including a white vehicle parked near the port, as a lead while they work to confirm the man’s identity; no cause of death has been confirmed.
- Cambados’ mayor visited the scene and the port community has been shaken; the next steps are the on-call judge’s authorization to lift the body and forensic work to establish identity and cause of death.
