A 31-year-old man was found dead inside a home in Águilas, located in the Murcia region, this afternoon. The person who discovered the body was a friend of the deceased, entering the residence just before eight o’clock on Tuesday.
Upon entry, a significant amount of blood was observed scattered around the living areas, prompting the friend to call for help and to move through the building to locate the victim. The discovery took place in the living room, where the body was subsequently found and examined by the authorities at the scene.
Early information suggested the friend believed the man may have taken his own life. However, officials stressed that the final determination would rely on forensic analysis conducted by the Institute of Forensic Medicine, whose findings will determine the next steps in the investigation.
Initial observations indicated a neck injury that could be the likely cause of death, though investigators note that all possibilities remain open pending the autopsy results and any additional forensic evidence.
At this stage, investigators have not ruled out any scenario and await the autopsy to confirm whether another person may have been involved in the death. The case is being treated with caution as the investigation unfolds.
The Civil Guard is handling the case, as is standard for this type of incident. The friend’s statement is expected to play a crucial role in clarifying the sequence of events and guiding the inquiry as it progresses.
