Murder investigation rules death was accidental

An investigation into the death of a woman in Torrevieja has ruled her death to be the result of
a tragic accident. The woman’s body was found semi naked in a stairwell in the early hours of
the morning in the town’s industrial estate. Initial concerns were that the woman had been
the victim of a sexually motivated attack, given her state of undress and the fact that her body
was found near to the town’s nightclub area.
Although awaiting the official autopsy report, initial findings by the Guardia Civil suggest that
the 39 year old woman accidentally fell while urinating. The victim, of Moroccan nationality,
was found at around 9.30am on Saturday by a local resident who immediately called the
police.
According to reports in Información, sources close to the case have claimed that the accident
was recorded by security cameras on the building where the woman’s body was found. The
security footage is said to show a woman, seemingly under the influence of alcohol, suffer a
fall and subsequent blow to the head after preparing to go to the toilet.
