National Police are examining a troubling sequence of deaths in Velez-Malaga, where a 57-year-old woman was found dead at her home early in the morning inside an apartment on Doctor Fleming Street after a call to emergency services around 08:30. The discovery was made by an individual who identified themselves as a relative of the deceased, prompting swift action from local authorities and medical responders. Despite the efforts of the 061 paramedics, the woman could not be saved. Investigators are awaiting autopsy results, with early speculation pointing toward possible drowning as a potential cause prior to the formal examination.
In a separate incident nearby on Ribera del Duero Street, a man was found hanged inside another residence. Authorities are examining whether he may be the partner of the woman who died, and a rapid effort is underway to confirm his identity and establish whether this represents a connected violent crime or a separate case of fatal harm.
Initial reports indicate the two deaths may be connected through a shared residence or living arrangement. It is noted that the house on Ribera del Duero Street is not far from the woman’s home, suggesting a possible link in the sequence of events. Investigators are conducting a thorough review of security footage, neighbor statements, and household contacts to determine the timeline and the nature of any relationship between the deceased woman and the man found deceased.
Further information available from those familiar with the situation suggests that the woman had been living with a man for roughly a year. Additional sources indicate they may have been of Romanian origin and around the same age, though officials have not confirmed these details publicly. The investigation continues with a focus on establishing a precise sequence of events, verifying the identities of those involved, and determining whether the two incidents are related or represent separate tragic outcomes.
