Migration related deaths in Spain
Overview
Authorities in Spain have recovered several bodies in separate maritime incidents. In Ceuta, the Guardia Civil located a man in local waters, prompting forensic efforts to identify the deceased via DNA testing. In Arenys de Mar, Catalonia, a man of Maghrebi origin was found floating near a nautical club, with investigators considering whether he was living on disused vessels or scavenging for fish.
By early November, a second body, also appearing to be of Maghrebi origin, was found in an advanced state of decomposition on Benítez beach in Ceuta. This follows the recovery of another migrant's body in the same region on October 31. The AUGC has expressed concern regarding the rising number of fatalities linked to migration attempts, suggesting that the death toll between Ceuta and the Moroccan coast may be significantly higher than official figures, with some estimates ranging between 100 and 140 individuals.
