A body was found on a Cassin coast near Costa Dorada, specifically along the shore at Roda de Berà, Tarragona. The discovery involved a severely decomposed infant or a very young child and occurred on a Tuesday morning. Local authorities say the event prompted a rapid response from law enforcement and forensic services. The scene was secured with police equipment as investigators began their work at first light.
Sources close to the case indicate that the discovery was reported to the Civil Guard after local police alerted the national agency. In response, several units were redeployed to support the investigation and ensure proper handling of the remains. The Civil Guard has coordinated the initial steps of the inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the death and to preserve evidence for the judicial process (Source: Civil Guard press release).
Initial reports describe the remains as being in an advanced state of decomposition, making it unclear whether the death was violent or natural. Authorities stressed that this assessment would depend on the autopsy results and forensic analysis, which are expected to clarify the cause and manner of death. The coroner and members of the judicial committee were dispatched to the site to supervise the examination and to oversee the collection of evidence for the case (Source: Civil Guard press release).
The investigation team is prioritizing a careful, methodical approach to document the scene, gather any potential traces, and interview witnesses who might have seen unusual activity along the shoreline in the days leading up to the discovery. Though the information remains preliminary, investigators are pursuing all reasonable lines of inquiry to determine the identity of the infant or child and the factors that led to the death. Updates will be provided as forensic findings are reported and processed (Source: Civil Guard press release).
Authorities emphasize their commitment to handling the case with sensitivity and due regard for any families affected, while ensuring that the investigation adheres to the highest standards of procedure. The goal remains to establish a clear timeline, identify any persons involved, and determine whether the death resulted from an external influence or occurred under other explanations that require expert review (Source: Civil Guard press release).
