Emergency services in Torrevieja recovered a body from Cala Cornuda on Saturday morning. A witness notified local police at approximately seven fifty, prompting a swift response in challenging marine conditions. Local officers secured the body with a rope and life buoy prior to the arrival of firefighters who conducted the safe extraction.

The deceased was found wearing a neoprene suit and fishing equipment, leading authorities to suspect a possible connection to fishing activities. However, the state of decomposition made it difficult to identify the individual’s gender or determine the precise circumstances of their death.

The Guardia Civil has since launched an investigation to establish the identity of the deceased and the causes of death. The case has been referred to the Torrevieja Judicial Police Team for further inquiry.

Coastal towns in the region have been experiencing adverse weather conditions due to a strong levante wind, which authorities are monitoring closely. Emergency services have ruled out drowning related to the current storms as the probable cause of death.
