The body of a missing fisherman has been found in La Gomera: probable accident
The body of a man who had been missing for two days was found on the island of La Gomera; he is believed to have died in an accident while fishing.
The body of a man who had been missing for two days was found on the island of La Gomera. The search was even conducted by helicopter. He was found on the coast on Thursday.
The man's car was found open, with the keys in the ignition. The lifeless body was discovered on Thursday with the help of a drone. He lived in the town of San Sebastián de La Gomera. He was found near the San Cristobal lighthouse.
The body was near the sea, in a very steep and hard-to-reach area. Police believe it was an accident. They say he went there to fish, fell into the sea and drowned.
Police are currently investigating all the circumstances. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
If the autopsy shows that it was a water accident, then, according to the "Canary Islands 1500 kilometers of coastline" association, 42 people have already died in the Canary Islands in various water-related incidents since the beginning of the year.
