The body of a headless diver that appeared on the 5th of March on a beach in Fuengirola has finally been buried without the authorities being able to identify the corpse.

The badly decomposed body was reported at 20.41h after being found on the beach in front of the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España and an investigation into the identity and cause of death was begun by the Policía Nacional.

The cause was quite clearly the loss of his head, perhaps, but an autopsy on the body was necessary, regardlessly as he might have already been dead when he lost it.

The police looked into every hypothesis, from his being an amateur diver involved in an accident to a failed immigrant crossing and even a diver employed by drug runners to recover submerged drugs packages. Furthermore, nobody reported anybody missing whilst out diving.

So, after six months’ of fruitless enquiries, his body was laid to rest with burial costs covered by the State.

We originally reported the incident in an article on the 7th of March.
