The Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES) have reported that they were alerted to the discovery of a dead body on the shores of Corralejo Beach in Fuerteventura this morning (Tuesday), after receiving a call at 9:20am.
A member of the public called them to report they had found a dead body face down in the sand, leading them to dispatch the necessary emergency resources to the location given.
SUC medical personnel were the first to arrive with a doctor from a local health centre, who confirmed that the person was dead.
Because of this, the Guardia Civil took charge of the body until the arrival of judicial authorities who authorised its removal for official identification and autopsy to confirm the cause of death.
Further details regarding the circumstances of the discovery are pending as investigations continue.
