The search for the 54 year old Briton who vanished from Urbanization Villamartín in Orihuela Costa last Wednesday night has ended in tragedy today, Tuesday. His body, showing no apparent signs of violence was found at 10am on Tuesday under the water of the Tajo-Segura water channel, close to Pilar de la Horadada. The family denounced his disappearance on Friday and since then the security forces have been searching. The decision to bring in the Civil Guard divers from the GEA special sub-aquatic group today to inspect the water channel, led to the body’s discovery. The body has been transferred to the forensic scientists who will carry out an autopsy to try and establish the cause of death. Reports have not given the name of the victim, only that he was 54.
