An investigation by the National Police is underway into a suspected homicide involving a 50-year-old man who was found deceased on Vitoria de Burgos Street early this Saturday, according to the National Police Station. Investigators are assessing the circumstances surrounding the death as part of an official inquiry that remains active and ongoing.
Officials reported that, around 07:00 in the morning, a phone call alerted authorities to the discovery of two men in a garden area adjacent to the Tax Office, where the body was found lying on the ground. Emergency services responded to the scene, and medical teams initiated on-site assessment. Despite their efforts, resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
Early observations at the scene indicated that the deceased man had sustained a non-bleeding impact to the head, a detail that has prompted the investigation to focus on the possibility of foul play. Police units proceeded to secure the area and begin a careful review of the circumstances surrounding the incident.
National Police investigators subsequently confirmed preliminary autopsy results, noting that the death may be the result of violence. It was also reported that another man who was found near the body sustained injuries, though the full extent and nature of those injuries require further examination as part of the ongoing inquiry.
According to the Government Sub-Delegation in Burgos, the case is being treated as a legal investigation. Officials indicated that the inquiry remains open while autopsy findings and additional forensic analyses are awaited, a normal progression in cases of this nature. Authorities have emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of the scene to ensure accurate results from the ongoing forensic work and interviews with potential witnesses.
