The body of the missing man was found in a hard-to-reach area of the municipality of Bunyola, near Mallorca, after being reported missing last Monday. Rescue teams located him this Sunday, and local authorities confirmed the discovery in a rugged terrain context. Mountain rescue specialists and a Civil Guard helicopter are now undertaking recovery operations to retrieve the body. Preliminary assessments indicate that the man likely suffered an accident while walking in the area, and a forensic doctor was dispatched to the scene to conduct an on-site examination.
Officials confirmed the death of Luis Daniel Pascual, whose disappearance had prompted a search that stretched into a fourth day. The discovery occurred around mid-afternoon in the Raixeta region, where Civil Guard units had continued to intensify the search with coordinated ground and aerial efforts since the previous Friday. A drone equipped with thermal cameras had been deployed to widen the reach of the search, underscoring the scale of the operation and the challenging terrain involved.
As the afternoon progressed, a group of local residents patrolling the area alerted authorities after spotting a body in a steep, difficult-to-access zone. Civil Guard teams rushed to the location, identifying the deceased and confirming the victims identity through personal belongings found at the scene. Early indications suggest the fatal injuries resulted from a fall from a substantial height, highlighting the dangers posed by the terrain in this part of the island.
On Monday, shortly after noon, Pascual had contacted emergency services to report a fall while strolling in the Raixa district of Bunyola. When operators requested a location from his mobile phone, the device provided three different coordinates corresponding to three separate points, raising questions about the reliability of the signal in the area. Police sources indicated that the ambiguous location data could be due to poor cell coverage or the limitations of the device’s position information in the field.
