A body found drifting in Alicante port this Sunday has been examined, and the autopsy confirms it was a case of suffocation. At this stage, authorities report no evident signs of violence. The details come from close associates of the investigation.
The Civil Guard has identified the deceased as a 48-year-old Algerian man with a prior history. Reports indicate that a lawsuit was filed against the police in relation to charges of robbery and violations of immigration laws, which are separate from the current death inquiry.

Regarding the possible causes, the Civil Guard has not ruled out an accidental drowning. The investigation remains active to determine whether the death was truly accidental, the result of a voluntary fall, or the consequence of third-party involvement. At this stage, no definitive conclusion has been reached.
The body was located this Sunday around nine in the morning in the harbor waters, in the area where ships are docked, near the Icarus statue landmark. It was recovered by maritime police units and taken to their port offices before being transported to the Alicante Forensic Institute for the autopsy that followed on Monday.
