Lloret de Mar police investigate death of 19-year-old

Police in Lloret de Mar are investigating the death of a 19-year-old man who fell from an apartment early Monday morning. The Mossos d'Esquadra are examining the circumstances leading up to the fall, including a possible prior episode of gender-based violence following a dispute between the young man and his partner.

Witnesses reported hearing shouting during an argument shortly before the fall occurred. Investigators noted that the partner exhibited signs of violence on her face, which has prompted a closer look at the relationship dynamics prior to the incident. While authorities are also considering the possibility of suicide, the investigation remains open to determine the exact cause of the death and whether domestic violence played a role.
