On a windswept afternoon along the coastline near Sant Adrià de Besòs, not far from the city of Barcelona, a man believed to be between 50 and 60 years old was found unresponsive in the water on a Friday. The body was located about 200 meters from shore in a zone commonly known as Forum Port. Responders transported the deceased to the port for formal processing, where medical teams later confirmed the death. This narrative reflects statements from local authorities and emergency services.

Initial observations indicate the individual was wearing a hat, a dark swimsuit, and blue-tinted glasses when discovered. Authorities have yet to identify the person. Because the body was found in open sea waters, the Civil Guard has opened an investigation, consistent with standard protocol for maritime fatalities in the area. The Mossos d’Esquadra have also joined in to coordinate on-site response and to assist with potential leads. (Citation: Civil Guard investigative notes and Mossos d’Esquadra press briefings)
Throughout the afternoon, officers from the Mossos d’Esquadra and Civil Guard personnel continued to work at Forum Port, conducting a thorough on-site assessment. At this stage, there has been no official confirmation of additional drowning cases in Catalonia or across Spain this summer. Local authorities have stressed the need for careful, methodical investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and to rule out foul play or environmental factors. The situation is under ongoing review by regional police and coast guard units, with updates to be provided as the inquiry progresses. (Citation: Port authority updates and regional safety briefings)
